As others have said, out of the box support (python.el) is already quite good (I'm using a patched version of python-mode.el though) -- the C mode is good too -- my Emacs has a built-in style (for c-set-style) named "python" for editing old-style (tabbed) CPython code, a style for new-style CPython code can be found at http://wiki.python.org/moin/NeedForSpeed/IRCLog (look for "python-new"). Cscope has excellent Emacs support and is helpful for navigation through the C source. GUD (the Emacs debugger interface) works well with gdb and pdb. For the documentation, the Docutils svn includes a rst-mode.el (at http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/docutils/trunk/docutils/tools/editors/emacs/). For those who like graphical file browsers (TextMate *cough*), there's ECB which also parses Python file structure. Nice snippets: ;; highlight XXX style code tags in source files (font-lock-add-keywords 'python-mode '(("\\<\\(FIXME\\|HACK\\|XXX\\|TODO\\)" 1 font-lock-warning-face prepend))) ;; good for defeating the whitespace-normalization commit hook (set-variable 'show-trailing-whitespace 1) ;; Custom margin keys (useful for Python indentation) (global-set-key [?\M-\C-+] 'increase-left-margin) (global-set-key [?\M-\C--] 'decrease-left-margin) Georg _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
