problems with org-edit-special and python

problems with org-edit-special and python

[Dirk Scharff]

Hi all!

I'm fairly new to emacs (and org-mode :)), so I'm sorry in advance for eventually missing something completely obvious. While I kind of expect my problem to be something with my emacs setup it does only happen with org-mode so I'm posting it here.

My test file (for learning purposes) contains the following (empty) code-block: 
#+source : the_beginning
#+begin_src python
  
#+end_src

When I try to run org-edit-special (C-c ') in the python source block an empty buffer is opened as expected. My mini-buffer states the following:
"Language mode 'python-mode' fails with: "Invalid file-name". 
Trying to call python-mode manually in the new buffer doesn't work. (It works fine in other buffers). I can't leave the new buffer by using C-c' again. 

I tried the same with a latex code block and it worked without problems. 

I'm quite satisfied with my emacs python setup, which seems to run perfectly fine on its own. 

I have to admit I don't even know where to start for resolving this. Can someone point me in the right direction? 

best regards,
Dirk

I cannot reproduce this with Emacs 24.0.50.1 and Org 7.6.  

I guess this is a problem with your version of Emacs -- can
you tell us what version do you use?

Thanks,

I use Emacs 24.0.50 and Orgmode 7.6 (from git repository as of yesterday)
and the python setup package from
http://gabrielelanaro.github.com/emacs-for-python/ . I used this to quickly
enable me to continue working on my thesis (involving some python coding),
while migrating to emacs.
I played around with this issue again today and found out, that it doesn't
happen if i comment out the initialization of the python setup i mentioned
in my .emacs . So I guess its some incompatibility introduced in this
package. I think I'll abandon the package and create my own setup when I
find the time to do it.

I guess this issue doesn't have anything to do with org-mode after all, I'm
sorry for any inconvenience I may have caused.

regards,
Dirk.

No problem -- thanks for letting us know!
