Running Python interpreter in Emacs

[Philippe C. Martin]

Hi,

this is what I have:

(autoload 'python-mode "python-mode" "Python mode." t)

(setq auto-mode-alist (append '(("\\.\\(py\\)$" . 
                                 python-mode)) auto-mode-alist))

Plus, you can always spawn a shell then call your script (if the point is to
have access to the output).

Regards,

Philippe
