The python-mode shipped with Python 1.5 requires a new custom.el before it can be used with Emacs 19.34. For more information, see the description of python-mode at http://www.python.org/emacs/python-mode/.

If you are using XEmacs 19.14 or later, any XEmacs 20, FSF Emacs 19.34 or any Emacs 20, font-lock should work automatically for you if you are using the latest python-mode.el. If you are using an older version of XEmacs or Emacs you will need to put this in your .emacs file: (defun my-python-mode-hook () (setq font-lock-keywords python-font-lock-keywords) (font-lock-mode 1)) (add-hook 'python-mode-hook 'my-python-mode-hook)

Users have also recommended an alternate mode named cperl-mode. You can get this from http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/CPerlMode.

Emacs 19.29 or thereabouts stopped using a terminal type of "emacs" in shell buffers, and instead sets it to "dumb". Zsh only kicks in its special I'm-inside-emacs initialization when the terminal type is "emacs". Probably the most reliable way of dealing with this is to look for the environment variable $EMACS, which is set to t in Emacs' shell mode. Putting [[ $EMACS = t ]] && unsetopt zle in your .zshrc should be sufficient.

A GNU emacs 'matlab-mode' is available via anonymous ftp from csi.jpl.nasa.gov as pub/matlab/util/matlab-mode.el

To use the EDT emulation package distributed with Emacs, place the following in your startup file: (setenv "TERM" "pc") (setq term-setup-hook 'edt-emulation-on) You might want to also browse through the EDT emulation documentation in etc/edt-user.doc. It describes which keys are emulated, how they are mapped onto the keypad and function keys, etc.

A LOTOS-mode is included in CADP, you will find it in "$CADP/emacs". A READ_ME file explains how to install it.

Yes, and it is bundled with recent versions of ECLiPSe. Put eclipse.el in your emacs path, and add the line (autoload 'eclipse-mode "eclipse.el" "ECLIPSE editing mode" t) to your .emacs file. You will need a recent version of emacs: at least GNU emacs 20 or XEmacs 21. Instructions for using the mode are found at the start of the eclipse.el file. Yes, ECLiPSe is ISO Prolog compliant. There are also libraries to emulate other Prolog dialects, such as SICStus Prolog.

If you want to use a certain mode foo for all files whose names end with the extension .bar, this will do it for you: (setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.bar\\'" . foo-mode) auto-mode-alist)) Otherwise put this somewhere in the first line of any file you want to edit in the mode foo (in the second line, if the first line begins with '#!'): -*- foo -*- Beginning with Emacs 19, the variable interpreter-mode-alist specifies which mode to use when loading a shell script.

Docstring extraction functionality from within Docutils is still under development. There is most of a source code parsing module in docutils/readers/python/moduleparser.py. We do plan to finish it eventually. Ian Bicking wrote an initial front end for the moduleparser.py module, in sandbox/ianb/extractor/extractor.py. Ian also did some work on the Python Source Reader (docutils.readers.python) component at PyCon DC 2004. Version 2.

Visual Basic Visual Basic is proprietary, and there is no indication that a credible Open Source implementation will appear any time soon. Perl Perl was a strong contender, primarily because of its wealth of libraries, and because of the number of books that describe it. However, our experience teaching at Los Alamos was that Perl's syntax is much harder to learn, and its often-quirky behavior harder to master and remember, than Python's.

Try these: # Local Variables: # mode: perl # indent-tabs-mode: nil # tab-width: 4 # perl-indent-level: 4 # End: How do I change my config tree to use the view dictionary entries introduced in 1.0.4? (added by jakeb 6/7/02) This is best illustrated via example. Suppose this is your existing (pre-1.0.

Yes. Peter Galbraith has written a very powerful mode for Gri commandfiles which is supplied with Gri and which is fully documented in the manual. The capabilities of the mode include the following. Uses built-in knowledge of Gri commands to 'complete' your commands. For example, typing 'drM-TAB' (where M-TAB is the completion keystroke) causes the mode to write 'draw' in place of the 'dr'. Pressing M-TAB again gives a list of all Gri commands starting with 'draw'.

web.py, the web application framework of choice for discriminating hackers. web.py is itself built upon Cheetah. The data is stored in a PostgreSQL database and served by lighttpd.

You are referring to the case when you reach the bottom of your model hierarchy and you are pointing at a specific block in a diagram. Such a leaf-level block has no underlying diagram; only a textual behavior description. It would seem natural that, if you open a leaf-box, the model's text should pop-up in an editor window. For now, you have to open your text editor as you normally would, from your text window or file-browser.

To use grep with Emacs, you first need to obtain a version of grep. Many of the packages listed in the section below on Unix Tools come with a version of grep (and cousins egrep and fgrep). Once you have grep, be sure that it is in your system path or in Emacs' exec-path. Then you should be able grep from within Emacs using "M-x grep". If you can't get access to grep, then you can use the findstr program that comes with Windows NT and Windows 95 instead.

Yes. The sample 'init.el' included in the XEmacs distribution will show you how to handle different versions and flavors of Emacs. There's the XEmacs tutorial available from the Help Menu under 'Help->Tutorials', or by typing C-h t. To check whether it's available in a non-english language, type C-u C-h t TAB, type the first letters of your preferred language, then type RET. The following function does a little bit of everything useful.

You can do anything you want with the source, as long as you leave the copyrights in and display those copyrights in any documentation about Python that you produce. If you honor the copyright rules, it's OK to use Python for commercial use, to sell copies of Python in source or binary form (modified or unmodified), or to sell products that incorporate Python in some form.

On the Microsoft IIS server or on the Win95 MS Personal Web Server you set up Python in the same way that you would set up any other scripting engine. Run regedt32 and go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3SVC\Parameters\ScriptMap and enter the following line (making any specific changes that your system may need): .py :REG_SZ: c:\<path to python>\python.

Yes and no. If you're starting from scratch, you might want to consider Jython (http://www.jython.org/), a rewrite of Python (http://www.python.org/) to seamlessly integrate with Java. The drawback is, that you can only use the libraries that Jython implements, not others like NumPy (http://numpy.scipy.org/) or SciPy (http://www.scipy.org/).

Use the function w32-send-sys-command. For example, you can put the following in your .emacs file: (add-hook 'term-setup-hook #'(lambda () (w32-send-sys-command ?\xF030))) To avoid the slightly distracting visual effect of Emacs starting with its default frame size and then growing to fullscreen, you can add an 'Emacs.Geometry' entry to the Windows registry settings (see see (emacs)X Resources).

With Emacs 20.3 and previous version, Emacs uses the size of the console buffer as the frame size. If your console window has buffer larger than the window (e.g., it uses a verical scrollbar), then Emacs' frame will be larger than the console window. To work around this problem, make the console buffer the size of the console window. Or, if you have source, apply this patch to src/w32console.c. Since version 20.

You can use a package like gnuserv to associate files with Emacs so that opening a file outside of Emacs (e.g., by double-clicking on its icon) will create a new frame in a running Emacs displaying that file. Peter Breton <pbreton@dirac.i-kinetics.com> originally ported a version of gnuserv to NT that used named pipes, and Nico Francois <nico.francois@ping.be> has continued development on gnuserv since. It now works on both NT and Windows 95, and has a number of useful features.

Compatibility Mode is a feature in Windows XP that allows Windows XP to run a program in a mode not native to Windows XP. For example.....You have a program that will run perfectly on Windows 98, but it won't run on Windows XP. You can tell Windows XP to run that program in Windows 98/ME Compatibility Mode, thus effectively hiding itself from the program in question and making the program think that it is running in Windows 98. You can enable Compatibility Mode for any program that you choose.
