Subject: [Python-mode] Tutorial on Python-Mode
Message-ID: <45EAB537.90108@biophysik.chemie.uni-dortmund.de>

Hello all,

I've been using xemacs for many things, especially LaTeX, and I would 
like to start using it as an editor for python. Unfortunately I haven't 
found much documentation on python-mode. The only thing I found was on 
the book: GNU Emacs and XEmacs, by Larry Ayers, but it only scratches 
the surface of python-mode...

Is there anyway I can find a tutorial or a few hints  (well, maybe more 
than a few...) on how it works. Just to name a feature, what exactly 
does "Mark a Block" do? I would imagine it might behave like 
"Ctrl-<SPC>", but on a block (i.e. if: else:, or something similar)
Or another feature, "Ctrl-c !" I get an interpreter, and many new menus 
(i.e. Complete, In/Out, Signals).

I'm a bit lost... I've been using Python only for scripting, but I'll 
probably have to start using it to analyze MD data from Gromacs.

Thanks a lot!

Best Regards,

Maximilian

I don't think there is anything separate from what you can get online.

    Maximilian> Is there anyway I can find a tutorial or a few hints (well,

It's not all that different from other language programming modes.  C-h m
will give you some help about the mode-specific bindings.  From there you
can ask for help about specific commands, functions and variables.

    Maximilian> Just to name a feature, what exactly does "Mark a Block" do?

It's bound to C-c C-k so type C-h k C-c C-k and you'll get the documentation
for the py-mark-block command.

    Maximilian> Or another feature, "Ctrl-c !" I get an interpreter, and

C-c ! runs the py-shell command which is a specialization of the normal
shell mode.  Again, C-h k C-c ! will display help about py-shell.

I don't do anything with computational chemistry but I assume the field has
plenty of very specialized wheels.  I would be best if you could avoid
reinventing them.  You might want to plug into the SciPy community
(http://www.scipy.org/).  Also, I think Andrew Dalke
(http://www.dalkescientific.com/) does a fair amount of computational
chemistry and bioinformatics using Python.  He might be a good source of
pointers.

I have a patch to implement font-locking for Python 2.5's "with"  
statement, including the optional "as" keyword.  However, I can't  
check it in because I keep getting prompted for a cvs password, which  
I don't have.  What's odd is that I have everything set up correctly  
afaict to use svn on SF, but apparently cvs on SF is unhappy.

So, I'm wondering if moving python-mode's repository over to svn  
would help, and whether anybody would mind if I did this.

Done, and it does help.

I've unchecked the CVS flag on the project page, but I don't think  
that actually removes any CVS data.  It just disables the menu item.

I just committed r426 which adds with-as font-locking.  Please update  
your checkouts to use the SVN repository now.

I realized that I can turn off CVS write access individually for all  
developers.  I've done that now.

BTW, should we care that FSFMacs comes with it's own python-mode that  
isn't related to ours?  I'm a XEmacs user so I've never tried it, but  
it does seem silly to have two different versions of the same mode.

Maybe I should rephrase that: do we care enough to do something about  
it?  I'm not sure I do. ;)

I successfully checked the code out via svn.  I tried to do a cvs diff in my
old repository to see if I had any pending changes and got this error:

    % cvs diff
    ? python-mode-face-creation.patch
    cvs diff: failed to create lock directory for `/cvsroot/python-mode/python-mode' (/cvsroot/python-mode/python-mode/#cvs.lock): Permission denied
    cvs diff: failed to obtain dir lock in repository `/cvsroot/python-mode/python-mode'
    cvs [diff aborted]: read lock failed - giving up

I don't know if that's a side effect of the change or not.  If not, we
should ask SF to fix the problem.  If so, it would be nice if they at least
retained read access to the repository for diffing.  I'll just diff my CVS
and SVN sandboxes.  Can I assume r425 is the version at the point where you
switched?

It could very well be an artifact of my turning off write access.   
I'm just guess, but maybe you need write access if you have a  
writable checkout and try to do a diff (because CVS wants to create a  
lock in the repository in that case).  You could try enabling your  
write access to do the diff and see if that helps.

There's only a handful of us that have developer privs on the  
project, so I'm not /too/ concerned about accidental CVS commits.  I  
just did it so an accidental commit would let you know to switch to  
svn, but I guess it messes up this case too.

Yep r425 was the switch point.

Cheers,

Summary: Handle triple-quoted strings correctly.

Initial Comment:
This patch adds an option that will color triple-quoted strings 
correctly.  It works by turning off syntax-highlighting for strings and 
comments (by registering quotes and hashes in the syntax table as 
normal punctuation); and using a fairly advanced keyword matcher 
to find all strings and comments.  The keyword matcher uses a text-
property to keep track of the syntax category of each character, and 
only updates it as needed.  Therefore, the option can only be used if 
text-properties are available (but they are available on all current 
versions of emacs, as far as I know).

Caveat: it's possible that this will be slow on some machines, or 
under certian circumstances.  But it's not noticably slower on the 
machines & files I've tested it on.

I have attached a new version of the patch, which should 
hopefully address both Skip's issue, and the problem that 
Johannes Gijsbers pointed out.  

I'd appreciate it if several people could try it out 
(preferably on both emacs and xemacs), and let me know if 
it works.

danielx_: download the patch file (handle-tqs-v2.diff) at 
the bottom of this page, and run "patch python-mode.el 
handle-tqs-v2.diff".

The changes I made were:

- removed (require 'text-properties), since 'text-
properties isn't defined as a feature in emacs; and it 
should be available by default in both xemacs and emacs, 
anyway.

- Replaced calls to "replace-regexp-in-string" with a 
compatibility function "py-replace-regexp-in-string", 
since the former is only available on xemacs.

- Fixed a bug in the regexp used to find the end of 
comments (this was what caused problems in 
BaseHTTPServer.py).

Ed, this looks like this would be a good addition, but there are
some problems.  Is there any resolution to Johannes' note about
comment breakage?  I just patched my copy of python-mode.el.
When I visit a .py file it complains that it can't find the
text-properties package.  (This is XEmacs 21.4.15.)  I didn't
see anything like text-properties or properties in the package
list.

I applied this patch to the latest python-mode and while
triple-quoted-strings mostly work fine (thank you! thank
you! thank you!), comments seem to be a bit broken. Take a
look at BaseHTTPServer.py from the Python CVS for a
particularly bad example.

I'm running "GNU Emacs 21.3.50.1 (i386-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+
