btw is anyone maintaining python-mode? despite the following comment:
;; For historical reasons, underscore is word class instead of ;; symbol class. GNU conventions say it should be symbol class, but ;; there's a natural conflict between what major mode authors want ;; and what users expect from `forward-word' and `backward-word'. ;; Guido and I have hashed this out and have decided to keep ;; underscore in word class. If you're tempted to change it, try ;; binding M-f and M-b to py-forward-into-nomenclature and ;; py-backward-into-nomenclature instead. This doesn't help in all ;; situations where you'd want the different behavior ;; (e.g. backward-kill-word). (modify-syntax-entry ?\_ "w" py-mode-syntax-table) imho it is *not* acceptable to have a random deviation like this. python is no different from c, perl, etc. in its treatment of underscores and should absolutely not have such a gratuitous incompatibility. there's a reason why backward-word and backword-sexp don't do the same thing; if you want to move by entire identifier, use the latter. with _ as symbol, you have a choice; with _ as word, there's no way to [e.g.] delete a single word of an identifier like `word_with_final_syllable'. ben _______________________________________________ Python-mode mailing list Python-mode@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-mode
