Fumbling with emacs + elpy + flake8

[Brian Oney]

Hi Martin,

I have messed around alot with the myriad emacs configurations out there. I found spacemacs and threw out my crappy but beloved .emacs config. I have looked back, but will stay put. http://spacemacs.org/

Fumbling is a nice word.

Spacemacs caters to lots of programmers. I can honestly recommend giving it a serious look. It's a well conceived emacs configuration.

Here's what I ask you to consider:

pip install flake8
pip install --upgrade "jedi>=0.9.0" "json-rpc>=1.8.1" "service_factory>=0.1.5"
if [ -d ~/.emacs.d ]; then \rm -rf ~/.emacs.d/; fi
git clone https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs ~/.emacs.d
emacs


It may be a rabbit hole, but that adventure belongs to emacs, somehow.

Cheers
Brian
