Bug 407179 – app-emacs/python-mode-6.0.4 is broken - Cannot open load file" "highlight-indentation")

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jean-Francois Ostiguy 2012-03-06 22:29:41 UTC]

python-mode-6.0.4 is broken. Upon loading, emacs issues the error:
Cannot open load file" "highlight-indentation"

Observations:

o The problem goes away with python-mode-5.2.0. 
o Apparently, 5.2.0 does not need highlight-indentation.el 
o 6.0.4 needs it. Using the latest version from
  https://github.com/antonj/Highlight-Indentation-for-Emacs 
  makes the error go away and produces some source highlighting   
  but results in a different error.  
 


Reproducible: Always

[Comment 1 Ulrich Müller 2012-03-07 00:24:13 UTC]

python.el of python-mode-6.0.3 had the conditional:

   (when (featurep 'xemacs)
     (require 'highlight-indentation))

whereas in 6.0.4 it was changed to:

   (unless (featurep 'xemacs)
     (require 'highlight-indentation))

The problem should be fixed in 6.0.4-r1, please test.

[Comment 2 Jean-Francois Ostiguy 2012-03-07 16:04:53 UTC]

6.0.4-r1 is still broken.

I get a different error :
File mode specification error: (void-variable py-mode-map)

6.0.3-r1 works fine.

I cannot reproduce this error here. Are you using python-mode together with other packages, like app-emacs/doctest-mode or app-emacs/pymacs (and if yes, what version?).

Anyway, I've bumped python-mode to version 6.0.5, please try if the issues are fixed there.

[Comment 4 Jean-Francois Ostiguy 2012-03-07 18:06:23 UTC]

I am not using 

app-emacs/doctest-mode or app-emacs/pymacs

I do use ipython. 

Will try 6.0.5 later today.

 Unfortunately 6.0.5 is still broken. Emacs gives me the error:
 File mode specification error: (void-variable py-mode-map)
 I am not 100% sure, but the issue seems to be related 
 to ipython (which is not an obscure package).  
 
 In any case, 6.0.3-r1 works. 

 I am no elisp expert, but I note that  
 when the ebuild compiles 6.0.5 there are a fair number of warnings.

Right, ipython.el assumes that there is a variable py-mode-map which does no longer exist in new versions of python-mode.el.

But this is a separate problem which has nothing to do with the subject of this bug, and we shouldn't mix different issues in one bug report. Therefore I'm closing this now.

Could you please file a new bug report for the python-mode/ipython incompatibility?

[Comment 7 Jean-Francois Ostiguy 2012-03-10 20:20:40 UTC]

Done. Bug 407715.
