Hello Everyone, I am talking about the bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/python-mode/+bug/827341 I will try to explain my idea a bit better. Removing part with the direct modification of load-path I think is clear: a library shouldn't interfer with global settings. If I understand correctly pycomplete would probably be loaded from inside python-mode and it is not meant to be a stand-alone library. Correct me if I am wrong. Anyway, since I have not found any place in the python-mode.el file where pycomplete.el nor did I find any auto-load instructions I thought of this solution. Let's say that at a certain point python-mode wanted to use functions provided in pycomplete and thus had to load it as a library. My idea was that in that case the loading was to be made this way: (let ((load-path (add-to-list 'load-path (concat py-library-path "completion")))) (load-library "pycomplete") ) I have tested such a solution and theoretically it seams it works. The idea was to avoid changing the load-path but!! having a library-wide variable that contained the package path. Please correct me if I am wrong about this. In any case, it is absolutely not a problem for me if my proposal is not accepted. Actually I would like to excuse myself if some of my submissions lack in professionality and that it may take some of your time to look at them, but I hope that some of my contributions will be of use. In any case I found the load-path problem because I noticed specifically that the package modified my path settings while I was beginning to set up my python development environment. The other bugs I have found occurred in a similar occasion. I was beginning to write a python program and found out that some things didn't work. Let's get back to the load-path bug: Do you have any idea how to eliminate this? Or do you think it is a minor problem? Can you tell me, if you think so, why is my approach inapplicable or maybe there is some better solution? And finally, can you please clarify at the current state how should pycomplete.el work? How is it integrated with python-mode. I have seen some strange behavior: for example the last item in the menu calls the function: py-find-imports that is nowhere defined. From the documentation it seams that it has some relation to completion. In pycomplete.el there is no such function but there is a very similar one: py-find-global-imports. This may be a mistake? In any case pycomplete is not loaded anywhere.. Maybe it would make sense to do a check if pycomplete is loaded/loadable or not and modify the menu accordingly? In any case I will soon (tomorrow, maybe) file a bug report about py-find-imports. Gennady. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJOStv2AAoJEGWa0uAesZr4ZkcQAId4zYAaTBY+506bN3XjtYm/ ux50HNU5EFgIxAK3Dz5jzqZ0h4rwYjxKI19xMrek3bHt+MsfYVLpfKRyinUA18U4 y9wMuFqGvAr3tvUaOG6Z281mC5lNSzs4KOQrAVw7lhgGwMIlEnWm+9QzgD+i8OJA N44rvogIYolx63Db99S9Q+FPGCohdGmwDeEuHBJsdfGmwFvwSGg4CZRz5SdZW+mB P5NfERQNPdEQEqM+sCIM11EsL/xcTsKkSXkvO5O1FUVaJ4JDfjC9Ie5J1ttun3N+ 6y3MiZSXB6W1z0lektEcay7uyFWrqjvdcII0MAzU83BBX+7sI6+5nlBFyNWWH+Q+ M+WObB+8JoxftWs84ns41uvz2UHkseKJ+GY+tvKk+Zd2C8ET1OVMj7s8uaftBjoP 4BZVA80XlRg3PrvXwzRDTMhxsGfhvkRMIebgFedgunCtTUQYLFsulsL0uUSYbf81 COoA5xGttd847XAZVABgey6/NrL48x/U8PFzZQPcG7Mgx7u2O9B/cAPgvvVN8kaF gXqVnZQ30Omd5o0jVih/GkczbXg1Ot60jGH0zKvxFaeCUPIof1yFwwsXVLHelkWI QyEsV6LV62yiTlJJE4KmP1Sw5LS1gxVnVuUURx0H6iLcO6HVESaCcszkiA2Y+Ha7 J6ehF4poHKmJ4Dhn2gOm =At1C -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Python-mode mailing list Python-mode@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-mode
