Description Jean-Francois Ostiguy 2012-03-10 20:19:39 UTC

Recent versions of app-emacs/python-mode no longer define the variable  py-mode-map which dev-python/ipython assumes exists. See bug 407179 for further explanations. 

dev-python/ipython-0.12-r1 needs RDEPEND <=app-emacs/python-mode-6.0.3-r1
The ipython maintainer should probably report the issue upstream.   

Reproducible: Always

The issue is already known upstream, see URL.

Hi, I had the same problem and solved it by emerging ipython with useflag "-emacs". I did not find any problem with this. It seems that the problem is that ipython installs ipython.el that interacts with python-mode. May be the solution would be that the useflag "emacs" requires *only* python-mode and not install ipython.el

So far the best workaround seems to be to alias that variable in .emacs

(require 'python-mode)
(setq py-mode-map python-mode-map)


Maybe something like that should be added to a site-gentoo.d/ file for python-mode, for backwards compatibility.

something like 

(add-hook 'python-mode-hook
    (lambda () 
        (defvaralias 'py-mode-map 'python-mode-map)))

But I wasn't able to get that working.

This version isn't in the tree anymore. Issue should be closed.

Please reopen if still exists with >ipython-2
