Emacs 23 hangs on python mode when typing string block “”"
Question
My Emacs hangs (Ubuntu 9 + Emacs 23 + Pyflakes) when I type """
quotes for string blocks.
Anybody experienced the same problem? I think, it may not be an Emacs problem but some Python mode or Pyflakes which I use it for error checking.
Anybody got around the issue? It is a really frustrating experience.
Solution
latest pyflakes in development mode fixed this problem for me. Thanks all
sudo easy_install -U pyflakes
OTHER TIPS
are you using the external python-mode (from package python-mode) or the internal python mode ? I use pyflakes with the internal emacs python mode without any problems and this is my configuration :
(when (load "flymake" t)
(defun flymake-pyflakes-init ()
(let* ((temp-file (flymake-init-create-temp-buffer-copy
'flymake-create-temp-inplace))
(local-file (file-relative-name
temp-file
(file-name-directory buffer-file-name))))
(list "pyflakes" (list local-file))))
(add-to-list 'flymake-allowed-file-name-masks
'("\\.py\\'" flymake-pyflakes-init)))
This is the specific pyflakes bug that causes emacs to go nonlinear: http://divmod.org/trac/ticket/2821
