The best-practice method for using Pida (on Lenny) at this point seems to be:
1. Install pida normally.
2. Install emacs-snapshot from:
http://emacs.orebokech.com/
3. update-alternatives --config emacs
Choosing 'emacs-snapshot'
Much easier than tampering with the source, thanks Anarcat. I didn't realize
that emacs-snapshot set itself up in the alternatives system.
I've had the emacs closing issue as well, I'm not sure what causes it, but I
solve it by forcibly killing the emacs process with xkill.
Sometimes pida seems particularly ornery and hangs when starting (the "Pida
loves you" window isn't refreshed and the program never starts), which I solve
by just killing both processes:
killall emacs; killall python
It seems pretty random, and I don't use the vim mode, so I can't tell if it's
related to using emacs or not. I tend to start Pida in a terminal for these
reasons, which helps me keep track of when it's crashed, at least.
