Emacs + python

Hadron

Could anyone put me on the right track to developing Python with emacs
please : modes to consider, debugging etc hopefully all within emacs.

Any help and shared experiences much appreciated.

The mode you're looking for is 'python-mode'. Turn it on (M-x
python-mode), then read its help (C-h m) for all the cool things you
can do.

Personally, I prefer the python.el that ships with Emacs 22 to the
python-mode.el from python.org. It seems more like other Emacs major
modes.

Are there any cscope & ECB equivalent for Python ?

Thanks

Can you describe these things, for those who don't have any experience
of them but may know of an equivalent?

ECB (assuming we're talking about the same thing, ie Emacs Code Browser)
works just fine with Python.

Would you mind giving us a quick summary of the differences between
these 2 modes ? As far as I'm concerned, I've been mostly happy with
python-mode so far...

Could you extrapolate a little more on what you see as the differences?

I addition, I run pdb under emacs and the GUD menu appears but I cant
set break points by clicking in the left column of the source
display. Is there a way to get this working?

ECB is not language specific. It works the same for browsing Python
code as any other language.

Thanks, I realized my mistake soon after I posted ... how about a cscope
equivalent ?

How about reading what was posted earlier in the thread, and give us a
description of what you want instead of a name that people might not
recognise?

Cscope allows for instance to find the definition of a symbol.
