Hi Andreas, et alia,
Slowly the wheels turn, and progress is made. And then there are bumps
in the road. This is probably a bump.
You might recall that I was stuck on an old version of emacs because of
incompatibilities newer versions had with AutoHotKey. It was more
important for me to be compatible, than to run the latest emacs. Then
recently I discovered the beta emacs is now compatible with AutoHotKey
again, at least, as much as the old version was (there are still some
issues, but they are not new).
So references here are to this emacs:
GNU Emacs 24.0.93.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.1.7601)
of 2012-02-15 on MARVIN
So I upgraded to the above new emacs, and now am upgrading to the new
python-mode.el. I was running python-mode.el 6.0.2 and I see 6.0.5 is
now the latest version, so I downloaded it, tweaked my load-path to
point to the new one, and opened a quite valid, successfully executing
Python 3 source file.
The following error appeared in the minibar:
Error in menu-bar-update-hook (imenu-update-menubar): (error Lisp
nesting exceeds `max-lisp-eval-depth')
5 Py* menu entries appeared in the menu, however, so some menu updates
apparently did work.
I note that loading python-mode.el takes a _long_ time (noticeable
delay), probably do to this eval-depth limit being reached.
I notice that instead of my major mode being "Python" it is now "Python
Outl" and I don't know why that should be (but I probably missed
understanding something, in the emails about the new versions)?
I was inspired to do this, because python-mode.el 6.0.2 with this same
version of emacs, entered an infinite loop when loading a .py file that
had major syntax errors (it was actually just some text that I had
planned to convert into a python program that would incorporate the
techniques described by the text). Happily this doesn't happen with the
new python-mode.el 6.0.5, but that file also winds up in Python Outl mode.
Advice, please. Is this an issues with emacs 24? a bug in python-mode
6.0.5? something triggered by the particular python file? Or something else?
Glenn
