I'd recommend that you use standard email quotations. It makes for better reading rather than the * notation that you've used to reply to Senthil's mail.

I cant live without it. >>> import sys >>> sy<TAB> >>> sys.<TAB> > sys.foo sys.bar sys.baz The vanilla Python interpreter can be customised to do this. http://docs.python.org/library/rlcompleter.html The Emacs integration of ipython is quite nice. I don't use it *that* much but it's still pretty good especially to jump around a traceback when your program crashes. I don't like leaving Emacs to do something since I have to switch context. Being able to mess with your program entirely from within is a convenience and the ipython.el module helps quite a bit. -- ~noufal http://nibrahim.net.in _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
