Python code-folding in emacs?

I have many classes and defs ...

I want to have + and - keys before class and def to collapse the class or open it ( toggle it ).

How i can do this?

Solution

  • Hideshow works out of the box and folds python code. It is built-in my version of emacs (24.3.1)

    I have never needed more than these commands:

    M-x hs-minor-mode
M-x hs-hide-all
M-x hs-show-all

    To toggle use C-c @ C-c which probably needs rebinding. You might also want to setup a hook in your .emacs file for hs-minor-mode to automatically be enabled when opening .py files.

    I use it in combination the following to jump around.

    M-x imenu <my_func_name>
