How modify behavior when you click on a compile error?

How modify behavior when you click on a compile error?

[seberino]

When I compile/run a Python program with errors, I can click on an
error to move to a buffer with corresponding offending source code line
(s).

How modify what happens when you click on these "error links"??

Specifically, I want the "error link" to *not* split the window but
rather display source code buffer in the current window.

;;this is just a little bit dirty :)
(require 'cl)
(defadvice compilation-goto-locus (around stay-in-comp-buffer
activate)
  (let ((same-window-buffer-names (cons (buffer-name (marker-buffer
(ad-get-arg 1))) same-window-buffer-names))
        (orig-pop-to-buffer (symbol-function 'pop-to-buffer)))
    ;;override pop-to-buffer -- compilation-goto-locus always sets
other-window which ignores same-window-buffer-names
    (flet ((pop-to-buffer (buffer &optional other-window norecord)
             (funcall orig-pop-to-buffer buffer nil norecord)))
      ad-do-it)))
