w-32 python missed

will introduce a boolean py-edit-only-p, default nil

when t, checks for executables will be omitted, thus no error from that.

Instrumented py-edit-only-p with this commit.

Can you check out the trunk and tell if you still get this error?

thanks,
Andreas

Hi Eric,

might be related to file-path-separator.

checked in a fix which supports MS systems:

 new `py-normalize-py-install-directory' sets
  `file-separator-char' according to system-type,
  making sure `py-install-directory' ends with it

  new `py-install-directory-check', a sanity check

please try again,

thanks,

Andreas

same problem. verified the new function was visible. (py-install-directory-check)

did you set py-edit-only-p to `t'?

t is not the default here, as python-mode may expect a running Python
installed.

if py-edit-only-p is t but the errors occurs still

a report from M-x report-emacs-bug might be useful

yes

;; setup Python mode
;;; Emacs Load Path
(setq load-path (cons "/cygwin/home/esj/python-mode" load-path))

(setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.py$" . python-mode) auto-mode-alist))
(setq interpreter-mode-alist (cons '("python" . python-mode)
                    interpreter-mode-alist))
(autoload 'python-mode "python-mode" "Python editing mode." t)
(setq py-edit-only-p t)

I think the py-edit-only-p is wrong because it does not show up in the dump

This is a bug report for the PATCHED Emacs+EmacsW32.
Please test the unpatched version of Emacs+EmacsW32 before reporting
if you can. If the bug is also in the unpatched version then
report from the unpatched version else report here.

but you believe the bug is not related to the patches then you
may change the address above to <email address hidden>

For easy to read information about the patches see EmacsW32 home
page.

that implies the need to install a whole bunch of utilities to go with this
version of Emacs because there are probably other similar traps.

think you are on the right path.
