Off the top of my head: * python-mode.el did not play well with transient-mark-mode (mark-block didn't work). transient-mark-mode highlights the marked region and is required for other functions (e.g. comment-dwim). * python-mode.el had problems with syntax highlighting in the presence of triple quoted strings and in comments. python.el does not. * python.el is supposed to be more consistent with other major modes. e.g. M-; for comment. * python.el ships with emacs. There are claims that python-mode.el was not as well maintained for FSF emacs as XEmacs. -- Adam Hupp | http://hupp.org/adam/ _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
