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')

Hi Glenn

might be related to some indexing issue.

customize py-imenu-create-index-p to nil should avoid this anyway.

I'm testing with Emacs24 too from time to time and it passed as Emacs23 so far.

Nonetheless Emacs24 got some major changes and has some issues still.
Unless actively developing it, recommend Emacs23 for all productive work.

As for the rest, let's try to solve the knot by doing it one by one.

- disable all optional features as outline-mode - customize 
py-outline-minor-mode-p nil


If you still encounter some issues with latest release, please send an example 
file which triggers it, resp. make a bug report.

Best regards,

Andreas

Your suggestions sound good. Since they didn't look like elisp syntax, I tried 
the menus, Options / Customize Emacs / Programming / Languages / Python ... but 
couldn't
guess where to go next.

So I apologize, I am unable to intuit elisp syntax from the above prose, nor 
guess my way into the customize tree to find them. Can you be more explicit on 
what to do to
turn of the options that might bypass these symptoms? I don't grok much of the 
elisp parenthesis soup, I'm just an emacs user with a bit of .emacsrc 
cut-n-paste ability.


IMO Python-mode should be useable from Menu alone, so far your experience is 
quite precious.
Please make an entry at

https://answers.launchpad.net/python-mode

with something like "How to customize `py-imenu-create-index-p' from 
Emacs/Python-mode menu?"

the answer should go into some FAQ later




As for emacs 24, I am no emacs developer, but I cannot use emacs 22 or 23 due 
to incompatibilities with AutoHotKey, and 21 works fine for me for normal 
things, but is maybe
too old for the latest python-mode, since you were not able to reproduce 
problems I had in the past. So it is 21 or 24, which, if either, can you 
support with python-mode?
Maybe it is premature to use 24, but I am supposing, unless you declare 
otherwise, that it is much more interesting to add support for 24 into 
python-mode than to support
21...


okay, sounds reasonable then.
