The support for Python in XEmacs will obviously never be as good as
|
|
the support for emacs lisp. However, it is already about as good as
|
|
it is for other lispy things like clisp, scheme, etc.
|
|
|
|
One can run a python interpreter in an emacs window. This can be
|
|
interacted with directly, or you can send code to it from a
|
|
python-mode buffer. It has served my needs fairly well.

|
|
Well, in the obvious syntactical sense, sure.
|
|
|
|
I am comfortable in several dialects of Lisp, but find C to be No Fun.
|
|
I am rapidly becoming at home with Python. In many of the
|
|
less-immediately-obvious but very important ways, I find that Python
|
|
doesn't feel much like C at all.
