Emacs for Python Programmers #2: Virtualenv, IPython & Daemon Mode

• almost 17y ago
  One word: Rope It gives you all sort of semantic and refactoring awesomeness for python in emacs.

  It's not about what Emacs can do for you, but what you can do for Emacs.

  Thanks so much for posting that; it has been on my todo list for a while now to figure out a neat way of hooking virtualenv into emacs!

  What can give me IDE-like popup completion for the current file using a live python interpreter beyond the scenes?

  Why isn't there SLIME for Python?
  • almost 17y ago
    Because Python isn't Lisp. I don't think python particularly handles image based programming very well (not that all Lisps do this exclusively, just that they support it well enough for SLIME to make sense). Right now I have a load of code in Python which I'm constantly changing and reloading into my iPython session and it can be a bit of a pain, my files are littered with "reload(x)" statements just so when I reload one the others also get reloaded. I've tried the deep-reload extension to iPython without much success but maybe this will help in the future.
