hello, I was not so long ago in the same situation. I switch to emacs too, why ? probably because the movement is more natural than in vi (used for 12+ years), python-mode automatically starts on the machines I'm using, this is very convenient for *re-indentation* . Python could be difficult to maintain if you don't have a flexible text editor. if you want, i can suggest you some lines for the init file .emacs, in order to keep the text indented with 4 spaces, no tab at all (very important). I also suggest you to have a look on ipython shell, which is a super shell you keep side the text editor. once you discover it, you'll understand. I didn't hear for an autocompletion in emacs. but ipython has a autocompletion. It can sound weird to auto-complete outside your editor, but I like it. you can test little code snippets in ipython, discover the documentation and methods, and try them. I discover this clever advice in http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596515829/ currently I work with Mac (Aquamacs), and I was recently on Solaris or XP as well. PS: emacs on Mac Terminal with a french keyboard is a bit of a nightmare considering the META key...:-( Aquamacs solves this finally. Olivier -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
