I am trying to set up Python under emacs on my company's computer which runs windows XP (64bits).
I tried both python.el and python-mode.el without success.
My current problem is that whenever I use something like C-c
C-c to send a .pybuffer to the python process, I get the
following error message
apply: Searching for program: no such file or directory, python
A *Python* buffer is created but it as no prompt and I don't know
how to interact with it.
Pressing RET inside the said buffer raises the following
error message
comint-send-string: Output file descriptor of Python is closed
which I fail to interpret.
Python seems to be correctly installed (and added to search path)
because M-x shell RET python -i RET correctly begins a Python shell
with the >>> prompt.
Do you have any idea about what is wrong with my setup?
What is the value of a variable python-command ?
You can debug run-python function which is defined in python.el. This function creates the internal python process.
Just put a cursor inside the function and execute M-x edebug-defun. You can read more about debugging in the doc.
