Rinu, by this time I believe that Alan has addressed your question above. He has also (wisely) provided caveats regarding the difficulty of learning emacs itself.
I'll take a reverse of Alan's comments, not to contradict him, but to give a possible different perspective: If you learn to use emacs with python, you will essentially be learning *two* programming languages: Python _and_ elisp, which is the internal programming language of emacs. Emacs is essentially an elisp interpreter. There may be advantages to learning two languages simultaneously. This will take time. A lot of time. Do you have the time? Will you be compensated for the time? :) having two additional programming languages "under your belt" may be considered compensation. In case you do not know this: Emacs has the ability to run the python or language-your-choice interpreter asynchronous within the editor, in it's own window. There could be great advantages to this. I have in the past, written elisp code that allows me two write code in one window and have it evaluated in the 'python window' or 'language-of-your-choice window'. I'll reiterate what I said earlier, I no longer use emacs, but have great respect for it. I use vim linked against the python binary so that I can use python code to enhance my (hand-rolled) "IDE". <grin> I much prefer python code to elisp code. I hope my comments are of some help. I'm sure that you have been well informed as to what you would be getting youself into. :) regards -- Tim tim at tee jay forty nine dot com or akwebsoft dot com http://www.akwebsoft.com _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
