I have this in my .emacs:
(global-set-key "\M-/" 'hippie-expand)
This means that M-/ will do dumb code completion based on stuff that is
already in an open buffer, which can be helpful, and is certainly better
than nothing. Try it; you'll probably like it.
I also have this in .emacs:
(setq abbrev-file-name "~/etc/emacs/abbrev_defs")
(quietly-read-abbrev-file)
and this in ~/etc/emacs/abbrev_defs:
(define-abbrev-table 'python-mode-abbrev-table '(
("pdb" "import pdb; pdb.set_trace()" nil 0)
))
Together, those mean that if I type pdb, M-/, then I get
import pdb; pdb.set_trace(), which can save me a lot of time while
debugging. To be honest, I usually use pdb from the commandline instead
these days, with 'alias pdb="python -m pdb"' in my .bashrc.
