Dunno if this is relevant or helpful, but here goes: I decided to install pymacs to enable me to use python-mode, as I'm preparing to do more serious work with python (via PyNIO). I encountered a minor problem installing pymacs, about which I posted the pymacs list, and got help from the developer, François Pinard. Along the way I mentioned that I was installing pymacs for use with python-mode, and he mentioned that he was not doing much emacs work, so I asked
