Ken Mannheimer has written pdbtrack which Python users say is better. I've tried to scope it out in http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2006-08/msg00930.html but it's not been added to Emacs as there is uncertainty over original authorship. > I am running debian etch and am using the python-mode package that comes > with debian. emacs-wiki says there are two python modes. > Which this one is I am not sure. Emacs 22.1 includes a python-mode package in a file called python.el. I suggest you use that one (with 22.1). -- Nick http://www.inet.net.nz/~nickrob
