I have tried out SLIME with SBCL (just some simple code) but I didn't like the feedback. I got unnecessary compiler warnings, and it was difficult to find some useful information in it. >JKK> The stock Python interpreter probably wouldn't cut it close to something >JKK> like SLIME in terms of features, but the iPython package might be a >JKK> start. For now the iPython package for me has more options than I have had time to try out. On the other hand when you execute some code form a Python file (with C-c C-c or C-c |) you get this ## working on region in file /tmp/python-26084kfr.py... in the *Python* buffer which is very uninformative. This is generated by python-mode, not by iPython. You do get any output printed in the code, however, as well as exceptions. I have made a change in my Python mode such that the ## working on region in file /tmp/python-26084kfr.py... message will be replaced by the actual code executed, if that code is not too big (size configurable). And that looks nicer. -- Piet van Oostrum <p...@cs.uu.nl> URL: http://pietvanoostrum.com [PGP 8DAE142BE17999C4] Private email: p...@vanoostrum.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
