Me preparing punishment? Not my kind :-). My poor knowledge of English makes me miss the meaning of the above sentence, but as it is ended with a smiley, I presume it is a friendly tease! > outline and hide-show mode are common Emacs features and will work > with python-mode out-of-the-box.

As I wrote in some earlier message, python-mode has not only the right to, but the duty of an "opinion" about what is best for average Python users, and should deliver itself defaulted according to this opinion. >> Did you update README?

I see it as a top priority in the case here, because it is severely lagging. And when I say "lagging", this is a polite euphemism, "lacking" would me a more appropriate description. That importance goes above that of all the Blueprints altogether, you know :-). Oh, no doubt it is a good thing to have self-aimed internal documentation meant for planning, but if we take even a moderate distance with the python-mode project and look at its current state, the priority is clearly user documentation, not maintainer documentation. README and INSTALL are very sub-minimal currently. Only once python-mode has a least minimal documentation, resume in parallel user and maintainer documentation, and try to never lose sight again of the users in the process. Make it a principle: "Users first!" :-) François _______________________________________________ Python-mode mailing list Python-mode@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-mode
