Package: emacs22
Version: 22.2+2-3
Severity: normal
This issue might affect those upgrading from earlier versions of
emacs. I am submitting it mostly with an eye to the upcoming
release. The problem prevent emacs from entering python-mode.
When I tried to open a python (.py) file or execute M-x python-mode, I
was getting this error (shown in the form in *Messages* buffer):
File mode specification error: (file-error "Cannot open load file"
"python-mode")
This occurred even with emacs -q starts.
/etc/emacs/site-start.d/50python-mode.el was present, and seems to be
the culprit. When I removed it everything worked. I guess this is a
left-over from some earlier version of emacs (or the python-mode
package).
I know package installation/upgrade is supposed to respect settings in
/etc, but perhaps there is some solution for this. Failing that,
maybe a note in README.Debian could give a hint about the problem.
It is possible I encountered this because of something weird about
this particular system. I did not encounter it with a newer system.
I don't need a fix, since removing 50python-mode.el seems to make
things work.
For reference, here's the contents of the offending file:
--------------------------------------------------------------
;-*-emacs-lisp-*-
(autoload 'python-mode "python-mode" "Python editing mode." t)
(setq load-path (cons (concat "/usr/share/"
(symbol-name debian-emacs-flavor)
"/site-lisp/python-elisp")
load-path))
(setq auto-mode-alist
(cons '("\\.py$" . python-mode) auto-mode-alist))
(setq interpreter-mode-alist
(cons '("python" . python-mode) interpreter-mode-alist))
