Python outline mode in emacs

[Laura Creighton]

When I told Ronny that I had posted this, he said 'But it didn't come
with documentation and store the outline-display state with the buffer!
Let me fix this!'

So here is a better version:

;; Outline mode extension
;; ----------------------
;;
;; Author: Ronny Wikh <rw at strakt.com>, May 2002
;;
;; A simple extension of the outline mode with functions provided
;; for python and texi modes.
;;
;; The mode simply adds toggles for outline/show everything and
;; outline/show paragraph, where the 'paragraph' concept is
;; modified to mean classes and function definitions in python
;; and chapters and subsections in texi.
;;
;; Toggle entry is bound to C-c C-e
;; Toggle all is bound to C-c C-a
;;
;; The default is that a buffer is started in outline mode. This
;; behaviour is controlled by the variable 'outline-start-hidden'
;; which can be set in your .emacs:
;; 
;; (setq outline-start-hidden t) to start in outline (default) or
;; (setq outline-start-hidden nil) to start showing everything
;;
;; Activation of the mode can be done manually by calling the function
;;
;; 'python-outline' for python mode,
;; 'texi-outline' for texi mode
;;
;; or automatically by inserting the following lines into your .emacs file:
;;
;; (setq auto-mode-alist (append '(
;;		("\\.texi" . texi-outline)
;;		("\\.py" . python-outline))
;;              auto-mode-alist))
;;
;; Modes for other languages can easily be added by providing suitable
;; regexp expressions for that specific language in new functions.

(defvar outline-start-hidden t "Start outline hidden")

(defun outline-setup (regexp)
  "Setup outline mode"
  (defvar outline-toggle-all-flag nil "toggle all flag")
  (make-variable-buffer-local 'outline-toggle-all-flag)
  (defvar cpos_save nil "current cursor position")
  (outline-minor-mode)
  (setq outline-regexp regexp)
  (define-key outline-minor-mode-map "\C-c\C-e" 'outline-toggle-entry)
  (define-key outline-minor-mode-map "\C-c\C-a" 'outline-toggle-all)
  (if outline-start-hidden
      (progn
	(setq outline-toggle-all-flag t)
	(hide-body)))

  (defun outline-toggle-entry () (interactive)
    "Toggle outline hiding for the entry under the cursor"
    (if (progn
	  (setq cpos_save (point))
	  (end-of-line)
	  (get-char-property (point) 'invisible))
	(progn 
	  (show-subtree)
	  (goto-char cpos_save))
      (progn 
	(hide-leaves)
	(goto-char cpos_save))))
	
  (defun outline-toggle-all () (interactive)
    "Toggle outline hiding for the entire file"
    (if outline-toggle-all-flag
	(progn
	  (setq outline-toggle-all-flag nil)
	  (show-all))
      (progn 
	(setq outline-toggle-all-flag t)
	(hide-body))))
)

(defun python-outline () (interactive)
  "Python outline mode"
  (python-mode)
  (outline-setup "^class \\|[ 	]*def \\|^#"))

(defun texi-outline () (interactive)
  "Texinfo outline mode"
  (texinfo-mode)
  (outline-setup "^@chap\\|@\\(sub\\)*section"))
