An emacs mode for rope refactoring library
Project description
Ropemacs is an emacs mode that uses rope library to provide features like refactorings and code-assists. You should install rope library and Pymacs before using ropemacs.
New Features
Auto-completing python names (code-assist); M-/
Rope find file; C-c p f
Generate python element; C-c n [vfcmp]
Previewing changes
Specifying refactoring options
Restructuring support
Added rope-confirm-saving variable
Only activating local keys in python mode
Find file and advanced matching
Setting Up
You can get Pymacs from http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~pinard/pymacs/. But version 0.22 does not work with Python 2.5 because of the lack of file encoding declarations. A simple patch is included: docs/pymacs_python25.patch.
After installing pymacs, add these lines to your ~/.emacs file:
(require 'pymacs) (pymacs-load "ropemacs" "rope-") (rope-init)
Rope registers its local keys using python-mode hook. If you don’t want to use rope with python-mode you can add rope-register-local-keys lisp function to some other hook.
If you want to load ropemacs only when you really need it, you can use a function like this instead of that:
(defun load-ropemacs () "Load pymacs and ropemacs" (interactive) (require 'pymacs) (pymacs-load "ropemacs" "rope-") (rope-init) (setq rope-confirm-saving 'nil) )
And execute load-ropemacs whenever you want to use ropemacs. Also if you don’t want to install rope library and ropemacs you can put them somewhere and add them to the PYTHONPATH before loading ropemacs in your .emacs:
(setenv "PYTHONPATH" (concat (getenv "PYTHONPATH")
":/path/to/extracted/rope/package"
":/path/to/extracted/ropemacs/package"))
