Maximilian> I've been using xemacs for many things, especially LaTeX, Maximilian> and I would like to start using it as an editor for Maximilian> python. Unfortunately I haven't found much documentation on Maximilian> python-mode.
I don't think there is anything separate from what you can get online. Maximilian> Is there anyway I can find a tutorial or a few hints (well, Maximilian> maybe more than a few...) on how it works. It's not all that different from other language programming modes. C-h m will give you some help about the mode-specific bindings. From there you can ask for help about specific commands, functions and variables. Maximilian> Just to name a feature, what exactly does "Mark a Block" do? It's bound to C-c C-k so type C-h k C-c C-k and you'll get the documentation for the py-mark-block command. Maximilian> Or another feature, "Ctrl-c !" I get an interpreter, and Maximilian> many new menus (i.e. Complete, In/Out, Signals). C-c ! runs the py-shell command which is a specialization of the normal shell mode. Again, C-h k C-c ! will display help about py-shell. Maximilian> I'm a bit lost... I've been using Python only for scripting, Maximilian> but I'll probably have to start using it to analyze MD data Maximilian> from Gromacs. I don't do anything with computational chemistry but I assume the field has plenty of very specialized wheels. I would be best if you could avoid reinventing them. You might want to plug into the SciPy community (http://www.scipy.org/). Also, I think Andrew Dalke (http://www.dalkescientific.com/) does a fair amount of computational chemistry and bioinformatics using Python. He might be a good source of pointers. -- Skip Montanaro - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.webfast.com/~skip/ "The hippies and the hipsters did some great stuff in the sixties, but the geeks pulled their weight too." -- Billy Bragg _______________________________________________ Python-mode mailing list Python-mode@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-mode
