I couldn't find a specific answer to my question here, so I dare asking it at the off-chance of being directed to the answer ;)
since about two days, I am trying to get the auto-complete-mode to work for python, but I am out of luck :( I have been following the direction from this website and from this website which are both fairly outdated it would appear.
To give a brief description for those unfamiliar: According to the websites, it is apparently necessary to install first rope, rope-mode, pymacs and ropemacs before attempting to install auto-complete. I am reasonably confident, that I have done so successfully (the given tests, if any, in each manual gave the expected result), but once I install auto-complete, it just doesn't, y'know, autocomplete...
Lastly, it is entirely possible that I have done a newbie mistake, so please don't be shy and ask the blatantly obvious question here.
Thanks a lot for your help.
I am using Ubuntu 12.04 and emacs23 and I would like to use it with python2.7
bzr branch lp:python-mode/components-python-mode
includes auto-completion based on company-mode
That's the development branch of python-mode.el, no release so far.
