Hi Skip.
I stumbled on python.el last year and very very *very* quickly replaced
it with my good old python-mode.el. The first and foremost reason being,
IIRC, the lack of proper support for working with the embedded
interactive interpreter (one killer-feature of python-mode). Honnestly,
I don't think I've used python.el more than five minutes (not having C-c
! and C-c C-c working as expected being a definitive show-stopper for
me), so I can't say much more about python.el.
wrt/ python-mode.el:
- the most annoying bug is syntax coloration of triple-quoted strings,
that doesn't correctly handles quotes within the triple-quoted part.
- a slightly less but still annoying problem (I wouldn't call it a bug)
is the handling of indentation for nested litteral dicts/lists/tuples.
Note that I don't even know if python.el does a better job here. If no
one provides more feedback on it, let me know and I'll give it a closer
look.
