;; This is a major mode for editing Python programs. It was developed
;; by Tim Peters after an original idea by Michael A. Guravage. Tim
;; subsequently left the net; in 1995, Barry Warsaw inherited the
;; mode and is the current maintainer.
;; COMPATIBILITY:
;; subsequently left the net; in 1995, Barry Warsaw inherited the mode
;; and is the current maintainer.
;; This version of python-mode.el is no longer compatible with Emacs
;; 18. For a gabazillion reasons, I highly recommend upgrading to
;; X/Emacs 19 or X/Emacs 20. I recommend at least Emacs 19.34 or
;; XEmacs 19.15. Any of the v20 X/Emacsen should be fine.
;; NOTE TO FSF EMACS USERS:
;; You may need to acquire the Custom library -- this applies to users
;; of Emacs 19.34 and NTEmacs based on 19.34, but not to Emacs 20
;; users. You must also byte-compile this file before use -- this
;; applies to FSF's Emacs 19.34, 20.x, and NTEmacs based on 19.34.
;; None of this applies to XEmacs (although byte compilation is still
;; recommended). You will also need to add the following to your
;; .emacs file so that the .py files come up in python-mode:
;;
;; (autoload 'python-mode "python-mode" "Python editing mode." t)
;; (setq auto-mode-alist
;; (cons '("\\.py$" . python-mode) auto-mode-alist))
;; (setq interpreter-mode-alist
;; (cons '("python" . python-mode) interpreter-mode-alist))
;;
;; Assuming python-mode.el is on your load-path, it will be invoked
;; when you visit a .py file, or a file with a first line that looks
;; like:
;;
;; #! /usr/bin/env python
;; NOTE TO XEMACS USERS:
;; An older version of this file was distributed with XEmacs 19.15,
;; 19.16 and 20.3. By default, in XEmacs when you visit a .py file,
;; the buffer is put in Python mode. Likewise for executable scripts
;; with the word `python' on the first line. You shouldn't need to do
;; much except make sure this new version is earlier in your
;; load-path, and byte-compile this file.
;; 18. I am striving to maintain compatibility with the X/Emacs 19
;; lineage but as time goes on that becomes more and more difficult.
;; I current recommend that you upgrade to the latest stable released
;; version of your favorite branch: Emacs 20.2 or better, or XEmacs
;; 20.4 or better (Emacs 20.3 and XEmacs 21.0 are in beta testing as
;; of this writing 20-Aug-1998 but both appear to work fine with this
;; version of python-mode.el). Even Windows users should be using at
;; least NTEmacs 20.2, and XEmacs 21.0 will work very nicely on
;; Windows when it is released.
;; FOR MORE INFORMATION:
;; Please see <http://www.python.org/emacs/python-mode/> for the
;; latest information and compatibility notes.
;; For more information on installing python-mode.el, especially with

;; doubtful that a texinfo manual would be very useful, but if you
;; want to contribute one, I'll certainly accept it!
;; If you are using XEmacs, you may also want to check out OO-Browser
;; that comes bundled with it, including documentation in the info
;; pages. For GNU Emacs you have to install it yourself. To read
;; more about OO-Browser, follow these links:

;; TO DO LIST:
;; - Better integration with pdb.py and gud-mode for debugging.
;; - Rewrite according to GNU Emacs Lisp standards.
;; - possibly force indent-tabs-mode == nil, and add a
;; write-file-hooks that runs untabify on the whole buffer (to work
;; around potential tab/space mismatch problems). In practice this
;; hasn't been a problem... yet.
;; - have py-execute-region on indented code act as if the region is
;; left justified. Avoids syntax errors.
;; - add a py-goto-block-down, bound to C-c C-d
