python mode automatically start python interperter

python mode automatically start python interperter

[lgfang]

I'm using official NT emacs 22.1.  I found it is boring that emacs
will automatically start a python interpreter when editing python code

Even if I manually turned it off, the interpreter will start again.

Why it does so? Is there any way to customize the behavior?

Thanks

It turns out that every time I use M-/ to auto-complete, the
interpreter is started.

I guess you have M-/ bound to python-complete-symbol (maybe because you
have M-/ globally bound to complete-symbol).  Then it's completely normal
because the completion candidates are given by the underlying
python process.
