Re: [CEDET-devel] [PDEE] CEDET integration with python.el, python-mode.el, et al?

[Tom R. <Tom...@po...>]

OK, so it sounds like the todo-list is as follows (please let me know
if I'm missing or misconstruing anything):

0 Check the syntax tables for python*el.

  Probably identical, but

1 Configure CEDET for use with each python*el.

  Another aside: another reason to leverage CEDET is that it's an
  ubuntu package (err, 2). For future doc you might want to note the
  appropriate stanza for that kind of installation. For my
  {ubuntu=karmic, packages=emacs-snapshot, cedet-common,
  cedet-contrib}

me@it:~$ for TLD in "etc" "opt" "usr" "var" ; do
>   echo -e "/${TLD}:"
>   find "/${TLD}" -type d | fgrep -ie 'cedet'
>   echo
> done
...
/usr/share/emacs-snapshot/site-lisp/cedet-common
/usr/share/emacs-snapshot/site-lisp/cedet-contrib
/usr/share/doc/cedet-common
/usr/share/doc/cedet-contrib
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/cedet-common
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/cedet-common/icons
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/cedet-contrib
tlroche@tlrPanP5:~$ for D in "doc" "emacs" "emacs-snapshot" ; do
>   TLD="/usr/share/${D}"
>   echo -e "${TLD}:"
>   find "${TLD}" -type f -name 'cedet.el'
>   echo
> done
...
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/cedet-common/cedet.el

  it's apparently

http://cedet.sourceforge.net/setup.shtml (slightly modified)
>> (load-file "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/cedet-common/cedet.el")
>> (global-ede-mode 1)                 ; project management system
>> (semantic-load-enable-code-helpers) ; prototypes, smart completion
>> (global-srecode-minor-mode 1)       ; template insertion menu

  No? Start simpler?

2 Vet the parser with each python*.el:

  So is there a more systematic way to check? Testcases? Otherwise,
  just run with it and bug-report this list.

3 Try the provided auto-complete UI. I prefer push mode, so, presuming
  this is invokable from the init file rather than the minibuffer, in
  python-mode-hook (which both python*el define) put

http://cedet.sourceforge.net/intellisense.shtml (slightly modified)
>> (semantic-complete-analyze-inline)

>> This is a command that does completion inline (underlining the

4 Release changes (if any).

  NP. How is this done? (I'd also like to know because something is
  very weird about the python-mode.el copyright-assignment situation.)

Your assistance is appreciated, Tom Roche <Tom...@po...>
