I have discovered an issue with python-mode in emacs. I generally c++ develop and seldom do python.
I have recently discovered this issue:
I emacs –Q
I open a python file
It contains:
import re as myre
Var = [
%
The % represents the cursor location. Then, at that location I try to tab and get this error:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument number-or-marker-p nil)
python-indent-context()
python-indent--calculate-indentation()
python-indent-calculate-indentation(nil)
python-indent-line(nil)
python-indent-line-function()
indent-for-tab-command(nil)
call-interactively(indent-for-tab-command nil nil)
command-execute(indent-for-tab-command)
I have not developed in python for a month or so but I cannot remember this being an issue. I am using emacs 24.5.1 windows 7 64, python 2.7.3 and – of course - -Q so no configuration.
Now, I try to apply python-mode 6.2.1 by running this
Emacs –Q In scratch (setq load-path (append load-path (list "~/.emacs.d/python-mode.el-6.2.1"))) (require 'python-mode)
I open up a python file (the same as above) then I CAN indent. This is all well and good, so if I load python-mode 6.2.1 el file in my NORMAL configuration this solve the issue, BUT now with the new 6.2.1 I do not get the same theme coloring as before (it is now bland and variable are just the same colour as other text, rather than standing out. Also which-function-mode seems to be broke (again) and developing in python is sluggish (when you open a large file) - I remember python-mode and which-function-mode not being friendly with each other in 24.3, but it was solved with STOCK el 24.5
For me, unfortunately, 6.2.1 solves one issue but creates others - INCLUDING regressions.
If, instead, I can just have the patch that solves the indentation issue, that would be great.
Thank you.
