thanks drew. i don't know why i thought that similar syntax had worked
in an earlier case -- clearly it must not have. this was very helpful
and now i am very close.
i now have the following completion code:
(defun matt/external-addressbook-completion (stub)
(interactive (list (completing-read "Name: "
#'edsquery-return-addresslist
nil t))))
when called interactively, it _does_ suggest the first option in the
list that python returns, but it also gives me the following error:
ad-Orig-minibuffer-complete: Wrong type argument: number-or-marker-p,
("Matt Price <moptop99@gmail.com>" "Matthew Garrett
<mjg59@srcf.ucam.org>" "Matt Zimmerman <mdz@canonical.com>" "Matt
Fontaine <Matty_fontaine@hotmail.com>" "Matt Wilks
<matt@madhaus.cns.utoronto.ca>" "Matthew Yates <myatesmyates@yahoo.com>"
"Matthew Flaschen <matthew.flaschen@gatech.edu>" "Matthew Vermeulen
<MattVermeulen@gmail.com>" "Matthew East <matt@mdke.org>" "matthewreedy
<matthewreedy@yahoo.com>" ...)
i'm not sure, but it looks like it isn't breaking the cdr cell down into
its components before evaluating it? suggesting to me that, again,
there's something wrong with my syntax.
i appreciatethe remedial lisp lessons. sorry to just continue not
getting it... thanks again,
matt
