is there a good emacs-mode for python that gives interactive development of the same level as inferior-lisp[1]? the python-modes i've seen only let you re-execute a file, but not a buffer or expression. inferior-lisp makes all the problems bpython is trying to solve, irrelevant.

Standard python mode has also region evaluation and definition evaluation, which mostly account for that. Maybe I'm missing something here? What do you want from inferior-lisp that you don't have in python?

I patched python-mode to do this (also did something similar for node and a few other interpreters). Main thing is to add a "py-execute-line" routine and a few others as wrappers around the file execution code. If there's interest, might post as open source. EDIT: here is a snippet (defun py-execute-line (&optional async) "Send the current line to the inferior python process using py-execute-region." (interactive "P") (save-excursion (end-of-line) (let ((end (point))) (beginning-of-line) (py-execute-region (point) end async))) ) That's the py-execute-line function, which is sending code to py-execute-region defined in python-mode (http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~python-mode-devs/python-mode/python-mode/view/head:/python-mode.el#L7828 http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~python-mode-devs/python-mode/py...). For some reason the default python mode in emacs is python.el rather than python-mode.el. So you probably want to start by using python-mode.
