Hi,

I thought it might be a good idea to have interactive python sessions inside Emacs, and thought that python-mode would do it. I installed python mode.

Now when I type M-x python, it says: "Using the CPython shell", but nothing happens. I thought this would start up the python interpreter inside emacs? How do I debug this?

Is there some initialisation that I need to do other than

(load "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-gentoo.el")

Thanks,

_Max_

Try M-x py-shell

C-c ! does it too. You may also execute regions, evaluate statements and expressions and so on.

In python-mode type C-h m for complete description of the mode.
