python-mode.el

python shell launch failure

Asked by samuelandjw

I am using python-mode 6.0.10 on mac os 10.7. It seems that python-mode has trouble launching python shell. I opened a .py file in Emacs, and python-mode loaded without problems, or so it seemed. I tried to launch a python shell using C-c !, but nothing happened. I tried to launch a python shell using the PyShell menu. I clicked "python", and it said "process python is not running". I also tried "python2" and "python2.7" and the results were the same. I clicked "ipython" ( I did also install ipython 0.13 and ipython.el ), and it said "Symbol's value as a variable is void: py-mode-map". In all cases, no python shell was ever launched. What happened?

py-mode-map doesn't exist any longer, as it didn't work well with the rest of Emacs, which seems to expect the mode-map name following the mode.
Thus py-mode-map was renamed python-mode-map.

python-mode.el now should assist IPython, don't install ipython.el, which is broken.

Should you encounter a problem still, please file a bug-report.

Can you help with this problem?
