While returning a list of strings from python, I see one element like this:

(decode-coding-string "/Applications/Microsoft Office 2011/Office/\345\212\240\350\275\275\351\241\271/Solver.app" 'utf-8)

This is completely wrong.

It seems the solution is to return `("str1" "str2" ,(decode-coding-string "str3" 'utf-8) ...)

i use ubuntu, and i try to lots of times install pymacs, but failed. The message is
''Compiling file /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/Pymacs/pymacs.el at Tue Aug 21 23:42:08 2012
Entering directory /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/Pymacs/' pymacs.el:82:13:Warning: variable assignment to constantenable-multibyte-characters' ".

Example:

def whatsnew(arg):
    """
    What's the best way to handle this correctly?

    Multi-line doc-string.
    """
    pass

The doc string shows up nicely in pydoc but a bit weird in emacs. I wonder if the doc-string should be cleaned up by using http://docs.python.org/library/inspect.html#inspect.cleandoc before feeding to emacs?

At the moment, pymacs returns a full backtrace for error. The backtrace is usually mutli-line and causes the minibuffer to enlarge, which is visually disturbing. In the following patch pymacs is made to respect debug-on-error.

So I'm trying to get freex working with Emacs 24. When I run it I get this error: Pymacs helper did not start within 30 seconds and in the *Pymacs* buffer I see:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/home/Elliot/.emacs.d/el-get/pymacs/Pymacs.py", line 40, in <module>
    if PYTHON3:
NameError: name 'PYTHON3' is not defined

Process pymacs exited abnormally with code 1

This seems to be because pppp is not substituting the preprocessor symbols with any value. I tried running make -k prepare but didn't see any suspicious output. Any idea of what is happening?

My setup is: Windows 8, Cygwin Emacs24 & Cygwin Python.

My Pymacs of 2011-12-15 loads ropemacs nicely. I just installed the latest Pymacs and ran:

(pymacs-load "ropemacs" "rope-")

after this, ropemacs-local-keymap is still undefined.

Any idea what might break it? Thanks.

Hi,

The hyperlinks to the PDF and HTML documentation are broken as of 2013-09-24.

Can I get them elsewhere?

The Pymacs 0.25 manual has the following snippet in Section 3.4.2

(pymacs-exec "import re")
(setq matcher (pymacs-eval "re.compile('PATTERN').match"))
(pymacs-call matcher "PATTERN123")

In Emacs24.2 on Ubuntu 12.04 (32-bit) with Python 2.7.3, the first two statements execute fine, but the third one throws the following error:

pymacs-report-error: Python: Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/Pymacs.py", line 268, in loop
    value = eval(text)
  File "<string>", line 1
    (lambda (&rest arguments) (pymacs-apply (quote (pymacs-python . 5)) arguments))(".")

I don't know a lot of Elisp, but the lambda statement itself evaluates without any errors with C-x C-e, so I don't know what's going wrong. Please help?

This patch generated against the master branch adds lazy loading support.

http://paste.pocoo.org/raw/549251

This would make installing Pymacs much easier and will, for sure, increase number of users.

I am running Fedora Core 15 with python 2.7.1 and GNU Emacs 23.3.1. I've also tried the same with emacs 24 built from source with same results. I am running rope from:

I ran into unicode problems this morning. I need to pass a file with unicode chars (Chinese in my case), and Pymacs cannot handle it.

My question is why encode it with ISO-8859-1 when the multibyte text has been previously decoded as utf-8 in emacs like this:

(encode-coding-string expression 'utf-8)

Isn't this contradictory?

I made virtualenv wrapper for Emacs Lisp to help installation of Emacs packages relying on Python modules: python-environment.el. I think it would help Pymacs installation.

You can just define a command like the following so that user can just do M-x pymacs-make-env to setup Python side of Pymacs.

(defun pymacs-make-env ()
  (interactive)
  (python-environment-run '("pip" "install" "Pymacs")))

When I used pymacs it slowed down significantly, even in c++-mode (on rather new processor moving a cursor from line to line took seconds, etc.).

My code from .emacs.d/init.el:

(autoload 'pymacs-apply "pymacs")
(autoload 'pymacs-call "pymacs")
(autoload 'pymacs-eval "pymacs" nil t)
(autoload 'pymacs-exec "pymacs" nil t)

(setq ropemacs-enable-autoimport t)

Hello.

Could you please add sources to PyPI Pymacs package?

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Pymacs/0.25

Thank you and have a nice day.

Here is error.

pymacs.el:196:21:Warning: 'interactive-p' is an obsolete function (as of
23.2); use 'called-interactively-p' instead.

In pymacs-exec:
pymacs.el:206:21:Warning: 'interactive-p' is an obsolete function (as of
23.2); use 'called-interactively-p' instead.

I remembered when first tried out pymacs I was asked this question: Killing the Pymacs helper might create zombie objects. To be honest even today I have only vague idea what it is.

So I just started using something in this patch: https://gist.github.com/2576300 and find it to be useful. It turns out it will capture most important things users care about. I haven't tested it thoroughly but posted here so that I can have input from other than myself.

Thanks.

Hi,

I think you should add an if statement for the config scripts when python3 is specified:

1. in pymac.el remove the lines (str objects are UTF-8 by default):
   (when multibyte
   (princ ".decode('UTF-8')"))
2. in Pymacs.py modify to (sys.exc_type and value are removed):
   value = traceback.format_exception_only(sys.exc_info()[0],
   sys.exc_info()[1])

Steps I have done:

1. copy pymacs.el.in in .emacs.d folder
2. rename it to pymacs.el
3. add it to emacs config:
   (defun load-ropemacs ()
   "Load pymacs and ropemacs"
   (interactive)
   (require 'pymacs)
   (pymacs-load "ropemacs" "rope-")
   ;; Automatically save project python buffers before refactorings
   (setq ropemacs-confirm-saving 'nil)
   )
   (global-set-key "\C-xpl" 'load-ropemacs)

After hitting "C-x p l" I have ERR:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable @DEFADVICE_OK@)
(if @DEFADVICE_OK@ (progn (progn (ad-add-advice (quote documentation) (quote (pymacs-ad-documentation nil t (advice lambda nil (let* ... ...)))) (quote around) (quote nil)) (ad-activate (quote documentation) nil) (quote documentation))))

command-execute(load-ropemacs)

I'd like to be able to set a directory local value of pymacs-python-command, open that directory via TRAMP, and have Pymacs use a Python interpreter executing on a remote machine.

I started changing pymacs.el by trial and error here: https://github.com/matthewlmcclure/Pymacs/commits/master.

If you see low hanging fruit to make this work, I'd love your input.

when i search using pip(pip search pymacs), it shows that pymacs is fine in Pypi, but I can't install it through python pip.

% pip install pymacs
Downloading/unpacking pymacs
Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement pymacs
No distributions at all found for pymacs

I have searched a similar post related to Pypi, jdunck/python-unicodecsv#4.

and, pypi says:

"
Package Authors

To submit a package use "python setup.py upload" (full tutorial). The index also hosts documentation. You may submit packages using SSH or the web form. You must register.
"

so maybe only the author can register and upload a package to Pypi?

thanks for this package.

Should I still prefer http://pymacs.progiciels-bpi.ca/gitweb.cgi?p=pymacs;a=tree ?

Looks like 2.6-ism has crept in. "make check" fails on OS X Leopard (Python 2.5.1) with the following:

In this particular case, setup.py.in can be changed on Line 140 and Line 141 from:

text = self.receive()
assert text == '(version "@VERSION@")\n', repr(text)

to

text = self.receive().rstrip()
assert text == '(version "@VERSION@")', repr(text)

since the line termination characters are not relevant for these checks. This change will at least enable the further downstream tests to run, since many of them also fail to run under Windows.

I haven't tried compiling my own version of Python yet, although I'm close to doing so, but it seems like using ropemacs with pymacs is very slow. There are numerous people who use ropemacs for autocompletion but I cannot do so. It's just too painfully slow.

Possibly this is a problem with rope but there is at least one more person with this issue:
http://groups.google.com/group/gnu.emacs.help/browse_thread/thread/ca15f5d465a9da23

I'm not sure how to test what is going on or where the slowdown is. My hunch is that it is rope and simply something on OSX is slowing rope down.

Pymacs is in macports, but not homebrew.
Do you have any qualms about it being included in homebrew?

I suspect they will say it belongs in pypi, and after reading the snippet in your README, I really don't know. I think whatever enables people to use Pymacs is better.

I accidentally killed the Pymacs and after that pymacs behaved weirdly. It seems the following patch is needed for pymacs to clean up properly.

Is there any tutorial mirror?

i use pymacs in windows 7, i just copied pymacs.el.in. Typed "M-x pymacs-eval RET" then i got this error!

The pymacs-load function defines lots of new symbols and wreaks
havoc because of its dependency on the Pymacs buffer's helper
process. Pymacs should provide a sane way to unload itself and the
symbols it defines via pymacs-load. See also
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Unloading.html
and
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Named-Features.html.

I have managed to follow the Pymacs installation instructions up to 2.5. It seems that my installation went fine, however, when I try M-x pymacs-eval with repr(2L**111) or M-x pymacs-load with os RET RET, I always end up getting a message saying 'Specified program for new process is a directory'. I am using Emacs 24.1.1 on Windows 7, along with Python 2.7.
Any help would be appreciated.

hi Pinard,

I met the issue described as title.
You have provided 2 solutions for that:

1. comment out python-mode.el (Q: I can't find out where to comment the "python-mode")
2. set py-load-pymacs-p to nil (Q: put it in the init.el file? or?)

But I'm the newbies of emac(don't know the lisp) and I got above questions.
May I seek your help about that?

Many thanks.
Nickle

Salut François -- I help manage Melpa, an ELPA repository containing snapshot elisp packages built directly from developers' source repos. Happily, Melpa is becoming extremely popular.

I'd love to add a Melpa recipe for Pymacs, but it's currently not possible due to the naming of pymacs.el.in. Would you consider renaming it to pymacs.el? It looks like you could create a git-ignored "dist" directory, then instruct pppp to output the pre-processed source files there.

Very much hoping that we can figure out how to get Pymacs into Melpa! :-)

-Steve

I looked through the README to find out how I would go about installing Pymacs for Python 3, but couldn't find anything there. So I had a look through the Makefile and it had a PYTHON variable, so I thought fine. Then I thought that the pppp command probably does some fancy things regarding which version should be used so I had a look through ppppconfig.py and right there it was, a way to set the PYTHON environment variable.

So my suggestion is to allow the Makefile to read settings from the environment.

In pymacs.el.in，pymacs defun pymacs-print-for-eval function to build python expression out of lisp expression，however，when using ropemacs，it will try to get emacs buffer content using (buffer-string)，while the buffer content is encoded in utf-8，then the folloing code in pyemacs.el.in：

(when multibyte
(princ ".encode('ISO-8859-1').decode('UTF-8')")))

will lead an error in pyemacs' python side，because we try to encode an utf-8 encoded string。

It seams that we'd better to handle carefully by dectecting buffer charset？

Hi,

When I tried to install from beta2, pip gave the following error:

package init file 'Pymacs/__init__.py' not found (or not a regular file)

and (Aqua|E)macs would complain:

error: Pymacs helper did not start within 30 seconds

I then installed successfully from beta1.

Cheers,

Pedro

When testing pymacs-load with python3
eg
M-x pymacs-load RET
os RET RET

gives error "global name reload not defined" as reload in package imp for python 3.2

I have installed rope, ropemacs, ropemode and Pymacs. and my .emacs.el is:

(require 'pymacs)
(pymacs-load "ropemacs" "rope-")

when I start emacs --debug-init this error occur:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Pymacs Lisp version is 0.23, Python is 0.24-beta2")

I normally run Python from a virtualenv and have had no problems with packages. However, with Pymacs, I've tried installing using easy_install and pip and neither way installs in a way that can be found by the Python interpreter.

Most packages work fine through pip and for this I would do,

pip install git+https://github.com/pinard/Pymacs.git

This installs the file Pymacs-0.25-py2.7.egg-info into my lib/python2.7/site-packages directory but there is no corresponding egg. OK, maybe something with pip.

So then I try:

easy_install https://github.com/pinard/Pymacs/tarball/master

This actually installs the egg Pymacs-0.25-py2.7.egg but then I find,

$ python -c "import Pymacs"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named Pymacs

Even if i manually set my PYTHONPATH it still doesn't work properly.

I tried to run make (or make install) but nothing happened (nothing got built). BTW I can install Pymacs 0.24beta2.

Hi pinard, it seems that this problem is still there, any solution yet?

I installed pymacs0.25 emacs part form marmalade-repo.org by package.el and python part by zipball downloaded from https://github.com/pinard/Pymacs/zipball/v0.25 , but it did not work and the error was "TypeError: pymacs_load_helper() takes exactly 2 arguments (3 given)". I compared pymacs.el between marmalade and github, there were some differents, especifically the function pymacs-load who caused the error. Then I reinstalled emacs part by zipball, it works!

Is there something wrong my installation or marmalade version?

I work with emacs24.2.1 on windows7.

Hello François,

I wonder if you may review (and if useful merge) this commit:
leoliu@63b180a

I tested it with python 2.7.3 and seemed to work.
