Prelude Python
!!! Note
This module builds on top of the shared [Programming](programming.md) module.
Python Mode
Emacs comes with Python programming support through the built-in
python-mode
. Whenever you are editing Python code run C-h m
to
look at the Python mode key bindings. Alternatively look at the
menu bar entries under Python. To toggle the menu bar press F12
.
Syntax checking
Prelude ships with Flycheck,
an on the fly syntax checker. Flycheck has support for two Python
syntax checkers, Pylint and
Flake8. In
order to have Flycheck support on the fly syntax checking for
Python you need to have either of these installed and accessible to
Emacs. In order to manually choose a checker run C-c ! s
.
Automatic insertion of # coding: utf-8
Previously prelude-python
had this feature enabled by default, but
that is only necessary on Python2, because Python3 already use utf-8
as default encoding. In 2020, python2 becames deprecated, so that
functionallity becames a annoying side-effect for some users. If you
wish to enable this, add this to your config file:
(setq prelude-python-mode-set-encoding-automatically t)
