Jedi/rope/emacs configuration for python development

Question

I think I'm having the same problem as this user in getting Jedi.el to work, but more trouble with the solution.

I've installed

• EPC
• Rope
• ropemacs
• pymacs
• python-mode.el-6.1.3
• pylint
• pyflakes

I installed these things in a pretty vanilla way, using only

1. apt-get pymacs python-ropemacs pychecker pylint pyflakes ecb
2. pip install jedi
3. M-x list-packages ;; then installed auto-complete.el

That is, I included no special flags, so I expect everything is installed in the default directories.

However, I'm still getting this error:

(I would have just copied and pasted to make it searchable, but when I try to move to the buffer, it disappears!---because the buffer is sensitive the the cursor location.)

According to the stackoverflow I linked to, setting PYTHONPATH correctly should solve my problem. But how? Should my PYTHONPATH be /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages? The variable is currently empty. What is causing this set of errors that is keeping me from getting the correct tooltips popping up?

Answer 1

Nevermind, the answer was pip install epc. Apparently the apt-get install was not what I needed.
