CONTEXT:
1. Launch `emacs -Q'.
2. Create a new Org file:
#+begin_src python
print("Hello World")
#+end_src
3. Press C-c C-c on the source block.
EXPECTED RESULTS:
The source block executes.
[Sadly, no "Hello World" appears, but that is out of scope.]
ACTUAL RESULTS:
1. Emacs: "Evaluate this python code block on your system? (yes no)
2. User: "yes RET" *sigh*
3. Emacs: "No org-babel-execute function for python!" *beep*
5. User: WAT.
QUESTIONS:
- Could Org not ask the question when the action is manual and explicit?
- Could Org require `ob-python' on behalf of the user?
Put simply, could C-c C-c work OOTB, like C-x C-e does?
Of course, if the block execution is not requested explicitly, we may
ask the question. Similarly, if the block uses a LANGUAGE for which no
`ob-LANGUAGE` is available, we may fail. But other than that, we do
what the user wants, without unnecessary questions or errors, in the
spirit of C-x C-e and the rest of Emacs.
WDYT?
