New in version 6: Emacs asks, on exit: "Active processes exist; kill them and exit anyway?" Intended? Any way to disable?

Hi,

Python-mode uses buffer linked with processes for completion.

When completion is called, a respective shell --python or ipython-- will run in the background.

Beside you can customize `py-start-run-py-shell' to nil - which would help only until first completion...

The questions when closing are Emacs default.

Nonetheless you may file a feature request in the bug-tracker saying:

"Kill Python process buffer unconditionally when Emacs is closed"

Cheers,

Andreas
