Hi Skip,
thats interesting indeed.
Setting up an appropriate state-of-the-art
(X)Emacs python-environement is an issue requested again and
again by users but not delivered until yet.
What about to include these and some other useful
stuff into XEmacs python-modes?
Then provide an installer, to that Python-Folks must
not learn Emacs-Lisp first?
Shouldn't the XEmacs packages system deliver the needed
utils for such a task?
Andreas
