python-mode.el-6.0.12

Written for python-mode.el by Andreas Roehler on 2012-09-28

New in version 6.0.12
---------------------

- py-sexp-function.

 When set, it's value is called instead of `forward-sexp', `backward-sexp
  Choices are py-partial-expression, py-expression, default nil

- `py-partial-expression' reconsidered.
   Beside common moves like `defun', `statement' specific Python-mode edits are delivered:

  `py-expression' and `py-partial-expression'.

  Statement below is considered composed of two `py-expression'

  a = ['spam', 'eggs', 100, 1234]
  |_| |_________________________|

  Assigment operator and all inside comments is ignored.

  `py-partial-expression' would match six sections

   a = ['spam', 'eggs', 100, 1234]
  |_| |_____| |____| |__| |__|
       |_________________________|

  When traversing code, `py-partial-expression' climbs down and up
  all levels encountered, i.e. at opening `[' `py-expression' would return ['spam', 'eggs', 100, 1234], while one char behind at `''
  it yields `'spam','

- `py-find-definition' also detects non-imported definition in current buffer

- Choice between `py-imenu-create-index-new' and series 5.
  py-imenu-create-index-function made easier.
  Customizable variable `py-imenu-create-index-function' provided, see also
  command in PyTools

- New commands addressing BOL as start/end:
  py-beginning-of-block-bol
  py-end-of-block-bol
  py-mark-block-bol
  py-copy-block-bol
  py-kill-block-bol
  py-delete-block-bol
  py-end-of-clause-bol
  etc.

- While commands "py-beginning..." resp. "py-end..." compute the context,
  selecting the corresponding beginning or end,
  new "py-up...", "py-down..." jump regexp-based to the
  next element in buffer.

python-mode.el-6.0.11

Written for python-mode.el by Andreas Roehler on 2012-08-14

New in version 6.0.11
---------------------

- improved Pymacs based code completion:
  - Completion of symbols from imported modules, functions, classes,
    module/class-level data members and instance variables in the current
    buffer. The information for this completion is updated whenever the file
    is saved.
  - Completion of local variables and function parameters.
  - Type deduction from constructor calls and literals.
  - Show help for modules, classes and functions.
  - Go to definition of modules, classes and functions.
  - Show signature of functions.
  - Support for auto-complete and company.

- remote shell support

- extended version of smart-operator added
  original smart-operator.el authored by
  William Xu <william.xwl@gmail.com>
  Url: http://xwl.appspot.com/ref/smart-operator.el

- py-electric-colon extended
  if `py-electric-colon-newline-and-indent-p' is non-nil,
  `py-electric-colon' calls `newline-and-indent'

- boolean `py-no-completion-calls-dabbrev-expand-p'
  If completion function should call dabbrev-expand
  when no completion found. Default is `t'

- boolean `py-shell-prompt-read-only', default t
  sets `comint-prompt-read-only', avoid unintentional edits

- customizable history variables/files
  py-python-history defaults to "~/.python_history"
  py-ipython-history defaults to "~/.ipython/history"

  If py-honor-PYTHONHISTORY-p is `t', $PYTHONHISTORY takes precedence, default is nil
  If py-honor-IPYTHONDIR-p is `t', $IPYTHONHISTORY precedes, default is nil

- customizable boolean `py-trailing-whitespace-smart-delete-p'
  Default is nil. Some commands may delete trailing
  whitespaces by the way. When editing other peoples
  code, this may produce a larger diff than expected

python-mode.el-6.0.10

Written for python-mode.el by Andreas Roehler on 2012-06-28

adresses some bugs and speed issues

python-mode.el-6.0.9

Written for python-mode.el by Andreas Roehler on 2012-06-20

New in version 6.0.9
--------------------

- autopair-mode delivered
  Credits to Joao Tavora http://autopair.googlecode.com
  see README-AUTOPAIR.org for details

- Syntax highlighting in Python-shell buffers enabled
  boolean `py-fontify-shell-buffer-p', default is nil

- py-add-abbrev, new command
  Similar to `add-mode-abbrev', but uses
  `py-partial-expression' before point for expansion to
  store, not `word'. Also provides a proposal for new
  abbrevs.

  Proposal for an abbrev is composed from the downcased
  initials of expansion - provided they are of char-class
  [:alpha:]

  For example code below would be recognised as a
  `py-expression' composed by three
  py-partial-expressions.

  OrderedDict.popitem(last=True)

  Putting the curser at the EOL, M-3 M-x py-add-abbrev

  would prompt "op" for an abbrev to store, as first
  `py-partial-expression' beginns with a "(", which is
  not taken as proposal.

- py-edit-abbrevs
  Jumps to `python-mode-abbrev-table'

- modeline enhanced
  when a path/to/my/favoured/Python is given with `py-shell-name'
  the Python-shell buffer before would display

  *ND path/to/my/favoured/Python*

  now:

  *ptmfP Python*

  boolean `py-modeline-display-full-path-p'
  boolean `py-modeline-acronym-display-home-p'
  If the modeline acronym should contain chars indicating the home-directory.

- mode-line indicates "Py" by default
  customize `python-mode-modeline-display'

- Pymacs intergration dropped from trunk
  conflicts with classic install being reported
