Hello Andreas and all,

I would like to use python-mode for my work. I have few questions and hope
to get few comments and suggestion and prior apologies for very basic
questions and long mail.

Consider me as a noob at Python and python-mode but not to the Emacs. I
need to write code only in Python3. Right now I have only one line
customization for python-mode in my .emacs i.e,

,----
| (require 'python-mode)
`----

and I have Python 3.2.2, ipython 0.11.2 and Emacs from bzr trunk.


Hi Yagnesh,

in order to use python-mode we are developing here, you must download

http://launchpad.net/python-mode/trunk/6.0.4/+download/python-mode.el-6.0.4.tar.gz

or the current trunk with bazaar

bzr branch lp:python-mode

This python-mode.el owes a lot to python.el coming with Emacs, but has much more features.

have a look at the commands-list in directory doc


with that intro my questions are,

1) `py-shell-name' to "ipython"
    I see ipython is working great with in the Emacs. But even if I set
    (setq py-shell-name "ipython") and press a C-c C-c in Python buffer
    it still is not taking to *IPython* buffer. how can I use ipython as
    my Python shell


that reads you have python-mode.el already, as py-shell-name only exists here AFAIK

Read the INSTALL file how to set the path in your Emacs init.

In order to get an existing shell just do

M-x MY-SHELL-NAME


2) auto completion:

    what exactly I should have in my .emacs to get auto completion in
    python-mode. Again auto-completion with TAB working great in *IPython*
    buffer but not python-mode.


Presently we have completion, not auto-completion, i.e. completion needs a key, TAB in shells and M-TAB in common buffers.

Should it not work, please send a bug report.

So far,

good luck,

Andreas

    I see the difficulty of getting auto-completion in python-mode
    buffer and auto completion helper function should know the type of the
    object at point to get the correct list of possible completions. My
    instinct was to why not use "ipython" for receiving auto
    completions.

3) how to refer python-mode:

   Stupid question but I am asking because different modes and names floating
   around for Python.

more questions to follow once I figure out these

PS: Many thanks to python-mode developers especially to Andreas for the
hard work you put on this mode.

Thanks
