Hi, case it shouldn't work using the hints given, (load "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/python-mode/python-mode.el") into your emacs-init-file, probably ~/.emacs, should do it for the moment in any case. BTW python-mode.el is maintained at https://code.launchpad.net/python-mode I'll cc this mail to python-mode@python.org Andreas _______________________________________________ Python-mode mailing list Python-mode@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-mode
