Your changes fixed the first traceback problem; here's what I'm seeing now:
- Auto-indentation is working pretty well in Python mode, with one exception: when the cursor is at the end of an existing "def ..." line, hitting Enter doesn't indent. It works fine when typing a new one, however.
- If I use the Buffers menu to visit a different buffer instead of the Python one I'm editing, then go back to the Python buffer, the major mode is set back to Fundamental. (This only happens with an unsaved new buffer; once I save it to a file, the mode comes back properly after switching buffers.)
- If I close a buffer containing a file, then re-open the file, it gets put into a buffer with a "<n>" suffix, as though there were still another buffer around with the file's name. This is minor, but could get mildly annoying during a long session.
- On closing peppy, I'm still getting the same traceback I reported before. (By the way, the shell prompt doesn't return after this; something's holding the python process open. When I give it a BREAK signal, the process closes and the prompt comes back -- this also happened before.)
On balance, it's starting to look usable; I'll try it again when I have to edit a "real" file, and have time to be careful with it.
