Subject: bug#4298: .egg files could open in archive-mode by default
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2009 15:58:42 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CD4BA927-CFCA-45D0-8208-2697477DD22E@pobox.com> (raw)
Python modules are often distributed as files with the extension
".egg". These are just ZIP files with a convention about the layout of
the contents, as described in [1].
It would be nice if Emacs could open these files in archive-mode by
default, either by adding an entry for the file extension ".egg" to
auto-mode-alist, or by adding a suitable pattern for ZIP files to
magic-fallback-mode-alist.
(Perhaps this suggestion will become moot when libmagic is integrated
into Emacs.)
