[Mac-emacs-users] ispell, python-mode

[Tom W. <wo...@ma...>]

Trying to learn python and emacs. Running OS X 10.1.4, mac-emacs 21.1 
from binary. I've installed ispell and python-mode. I'm using the same 
.emacs for both administrator and user accounts. Ispell works as 
administrator, but not as user. Python mode works, but can't start the 
interpreter as admin or user. Both ispell and python reside in 
/usr/local/bin. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

I have this in my .emacs

(setq ispell-program-name "/usr/local/bin/ispell")

Probably a matter of your PATH. Emacs run in GUI mode doesn't get any PATH
definitions from your .tcshrc or .cshrc. Do a 
M-! which python in emacs (same for ispell) and see if it is found.

I have my PATH (and other environment variables) for emacs set in
~/.MacOSX/environment.plist : Thsese variables are inherited by all
programs run from the Finder.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist SYSTEM "file://localhost/System/Library/DTDs/PropertyList.dtd">
<plist version="0.9">
<dict>
	<key>HOME</key>
	<string>/Users/piet</string>
	<key>PATH</key>
	<string>/Users/piet/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin:/Users/piet/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current:/sw/bin</string>
</dict>
</plist>

A cheaper alternative (which works most of the time, but not always...)
is to add this to your .emacs:

(setq shell-file-name "tcsh")
(setq sh-shell-file "/bin/tcsh")

Hope this helps
