Python-mode is very useful for those that use python. For me it is unuseful and it just occupies memory and space with no reason.
I think that it would be better to load in emacs just the useful things.


I wrote these 2 problems in one message because for me the games were and will ever be un-useful.

If you're that worried about wasting space, then why are you using
Emacs?  :)  It won't expend (hardly any) memory unless you actually load
python-mode, probably by opening Python source code, or load the game.
If it really bothers you that much, and since it is free software, you
can recompile Emacs to not include Python mode or any games.

python.el uses less than a cent's worth of hard disk space...

They're not loaded unless you use them.

Well, your needs are not the needs of everyone.

Are you seriously complaining about 90KB of disk space?  If it bothers
you, you can always delete it.

Python mode is not loaded until you use it.  It just sits on disk
doing no harm at all.

They are useful for others.

zone

[A Soare]

1. emacs -Q

2. M-x zone

3. In *Messages* I see 

Loading zone...done
Zoning...sorry

What is it good for? I do not understand 

Moreover, why do you insert unuseful libraries in the standard emacs? I never used python-mode for example.

Seems to be some game. I have never had time (and interest) to test it.

I do not understand what you mean. Maybe you did not really express what 
you wanted to say about python-mode. Do you think that the python-mode 
that comes with Emacs is not useful?

Fortunately, you are not the only user of Emacs.

it is a good apologist, apparently.

Works for me.  "sorry" usually means that you touched some key and
zone stops.  If you indeed touched a key, then that is how it is
supposed to work.

It plays funny games with your display.
