Andreas can answer that, but I can say that python-mode.el should be loadable standalone. It can use optional additional tools, but loading python-mode.el should not break if it can't find them, and basic editing, syntax highlighting, etc. should just continue to work. >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") > ) Rather, I think the right way to do this is to leave load-path hackery up to the user, but python-mode.el should have something like: (condition-case nil (require 'pycomplete) (error)) to just ignore it if it can't be found (or *maybe* echo a warning).
