I had a chance to narrow it down a bit more. Here is the stack trace I
get when I quit while python-try-complete blocks:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (quit)
accept-process-output(#<process Python> 5)
python-send-receive("import emacs; print '_emacs_out ()'")
run-python(nil t)
python-proc()
python-send-string("emacs.complete(\"exitCode\",\"import os\\nimport
logging\\nimport Queue\\nimport threading\\n\")")
python-send-receive("emacs.complete(\"exitCode\",\"import os\\nimport
logging\\nimport Queue\\nimport threading\\n\")")
byte-code("..." [symbol python-imports read-from-string
python-send-receive format "emacs.complete(%S,%s)"] 6)
python-symbol-completions("exitCode")
(and symbol (python-symbol-completions symbol))
(setq he-expand-list (and symbol (python-symbol-completions symbol)))
(let ((symbol ...)) (he-init-string (- ... ...) (point)) (if (not
...) (push he-search-string he-tried-table)) (setq he-expand-list (and
symbol ...)))
(if old nil (let (...) (he-init-string ... ...) (if ... ...) (setq
he-expand-list ...)))
(unless old (let (...) (he-init-string ... ...) (if ... ...) (setq
he-expand-list ...)))
(progn (unless old (let ... ... ... ...)) (while (and he-expand-list
...) (pop he-expand-list)) (if he-expand-list (progn ... t) (if old ...)
nil))
(if (derived-mode-p (quote python-mode)) (progn (unless old ...)
(while ... ...) (if he-expand-list ... ... nil)))
(when (derived-mode-p (quote python-mode)) (unless old (let ... ...
... ...)) (while (and he-expand-list ...) (pop he-expand-list)) (if
he-expand-list (progn ... t) (if old ...) nil))
python-try-complete(nil)
apply(python-try-complete nil)
hippie-expand(nil)
call-interactively(hippie-expand)
And in *Python* I have:
Python 2.3.4 (#1, Feb 2 2005, 12:11:53)
[GCC 3.4.2 20041017 (Red Hat 3.4.2-6.fc3)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: No module named emacs
>>>
Now the interesting thing with the second line of this output is that my
Emacs is running on top of OS X; Linux is running on the box on which
the Python file lives that I've opened using Tramp (that was visited
when I ran hippie-expand.)
So apparently Python gets run remotely (by the magic of Tramp?) but the
"emacs" package which I suspect python-mode uses for helping with
completion isn't available on the remote host; thus the whole completion
attempt fails, but instead of gracefully failing python-try-complete
sits there indefinitely.
There seem to be two problems here:
1) Proper exception and/or exit code handling is missing which would
allow the Python script to exit with an error without locking up Emacs.
2) Either the external Python process should be forced to run locally
even if the file is remote; or python-try-complete should refrain from
launching a Python process at all if the file is remote; or
python-try-complete should be prepared for its external process to run
remotely and set up its environment properly (by uploading the emacs
module and setting PYTHONPATH accordingly.)
As I said earlier I don't use python-try-complete anymore but FWIW
simply not running Python when file-remote-p looks to me to be the best
option.
I'm using Emacs 22.1.2 and tramp 2.1.13.
Hope this helps,
Julian
