Thanks for your reply, Ben. Actually I have the paths "C:\Python25;C: \Python25\Scripts" in the %PATH% variable, and the %PYTHONPATH% has the following: C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\pyflakes;C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages \Pymacs;C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\rope;C:\Python25\Lib\site- packages\ropemacs;C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\ropemode Pymacs, rope, ropemacs, ropemode all work in Emacs, except pyflakes. Looking at the file C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\pyflakes-0.4.0- py2.5.egg\EGG-INFO\scripts\pyflakes, it shows #!C:\Python25\python.exe from pyflakes.scripts.pyflakes import main main() So this script needs to trigger Python interpreter to run. I can successfully run pyflakes by manually triggering Python like this: C:\>python C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\pyflakes-0.4.0-py2.5.egg\EGG- INFO\scripts\pyflakes test_new_lib.py test_new_lib.py:13: invalid syntax sa.CoreObj. So pyflakes is running correctly. But it seems Emacs treats pyflakes as an executable program instead of Python script. I include the following in my .emacs file for pyflakes: ;;===== PyFlakes ;; code checking via pyflakes+flymake (when (load "flymake" t) (defun flymake-pyflakes-init () (let* ((temp-file (flymake-init-create-temp-buffer-copy 'flymake-create-temp-inplace)) (local-file (file-relative-name temp-file (file-name-directory buffer-file-name)))) (list "pyflakes" (list local-file)))) (add-to-list 'flymake-allowed-file-name-masks '("\\.py\\'" flymake-pyflakes-init))) (add-hook 'find-file-hook 'flymake-find-file-hook) What should I do to configure Emacs to make pyflakes working?
