python.el and imenu

python.el and imenu

[Greg Laun]

How does one use imenu with the current python.el in emacs24?  When I 
try M-x imenu in a python file, I always get the message, "No items 
suitable for an index found in this buffer".

I have spent a good part of the day searching the Internet for an answer 
and have had no luck.  I have found other people having the same problem 
(e.g. 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6317667/fabian-gallinas-python-el-imenu-support) 
but the solutions there do not work for me.

I tried using a blank .emacs file and still get the same errors, so it 
doesn't seem like my configuration.

Anybody know how this is supposed to work?

Thanks!

Greg

For me Imenu is working with both emacs-24.1 and with trunk
(emacs-24.2). Notice that 24.2 will come with Fabian's python.el replacing the
old one.

when you are in the python buffer, whats the value of
`imenu-create-index-function' (C-h v).

There is a bug in CEDET's imenu function for python, So if you have semantic
enabled (from CEDET) please turn it off.


Thanks.,

I changed my .emacs file to only contain the lines

(add-hook 'python-mode-hook
   (lambda ()
     (setq imenu-create-index-function 'python-imenu-create-index)))

even though I see that python.el also sets imenu-create-index-function 
to python-imenu-create-index.

But in a python buffer, (C-h v) gives

imenu-create-index-function is a variable defined in `imenu.el'.
Its value is semantic-create-imenu-index
Local in buffer tmp.py; global value is
imenu-default-create-index-function

So it looks like semantic is mucking things up?  The 
semantic-create-imeu-index function is defined in imenu.el.

My .emacs file is pretty bare, so I'm not sue how semantic could be 
turned on unless it's on by default.  In that case I'm not sure how to 
turn it off.

Thanks for your reply.

Have you enabled the new parser features? 

The following seems to work with GNU Emacs 24.1.1:
(semantic-mode 1)
(add-hook 'python-mode-hook
  '(lambda ()
     (define-key python-mode-map "\C-ci" 'imenu)))

For me, M-x imenu works out of the box with GNU's python.el in emacs 24.
What precisely isn't working for you?
