Emacs defadvice on python-mode function


In python-mode, there is a function called py-execute-region which sends a highlighted region of code to the Python buffer for evaluation. After evaluation, the cursor is in the Python buffer, but I would prefer that it remain in the script buffer so I can continue producing more code. I wrote a simple advising function:

(defadvice py-execute-region                                                
   (after py-execute-region-other-window activate)                          
   """ After execution, return cursor to script buffer """                  
   (other-window 1)                                                         
) 

But this does not do anything at all. I've tried other variants like using 'around' rather than 'after'; setting a variable to the script buffer name and then pop-to-buffer to that buffer and stuff like that. No success! I wonder if the mechanics of this is obvious to someone... Thanks!


Solution

  • In this case the solution appears to be

    (custom-set-variables
     '(py-shell-switch-buffers-on-execute nil))
