I've switched from 21 to 23 a few weeks ago and don't recall any particular issues (and I'm a fairly hardcore emacs user with pretty complex configuration and many third-party packages -- my emacs config has 182 matches for require\|autoload). > Like even that ipython.el file, does it work in Emacs 23?

Nope. Try ``run -d myscript`` (and ``?run`` for more info). I must admit that this doesn't work properly for me though -- I don't get stepping through the corresponding source in emacs. ``M-x pdb`` works with pdb as debugger but not with pydb; maybe the problem is missing pydb support in the relevant regexps? I can't devote any time to this at the moment, but I'd be pretty interested in having this working -- so I'd appreciate a note if someone figures out what's going on (and if a change to ipython.el is needed I'll make sure it gets in). > With all the raving about ipython, I'm sure it's a great product.

It's already there -- I'm using 0.7.4 svn (which is the ubuntu feisty package), so I think it should also work for you. > And, have the emacs mode operate much like it does with pdb, where emacs > remembers your command line when you invoked pdb, so you just hit "M-x pdb > RET RET RET ..." to open up your file.
