## Description
This layer adds support for the Python language.
Features:
- Auto-completion using [anaconda-mode][]
- Code Navigation using [anaconda-mode][]
- Documentation Lookup using [anaconda-mode][] and [pylookup][]
- Test Runner using [nose.el][]
- Virtual Environment using [pyvenv][]
- semantic mode is enabled
- Django support via [pony-mode][]
## Install
To use this contribution add it to your `~/.spacemacs`
```elisp
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(python)
"List of contribution to load."
)
```
## Key Bindings
### Inferior REPL process
Start a Python or iPython inferior REPL process with SPC m i.
If `ipython` is available in system executable search paths, `ipython`
will be used to launch python shell; otherwise, default `python`
interpreter will be used. You may change your system executable
search path by activating a virtual environment.
Send code to inferior process commands:
Key Binding | Description
--------------------|------------------------------------------------------------
SPC m b | send buffer and keep code buffer focused
SPC m B | send buffer and switch to REPL in insert mode
SPC m f | send function and keep code buffer focused
SPC m F | send function and switch to REPL in insert mode
SPC m r | send region and keep code buffer focused
SPC m R | send region and switch to REPL in insert mode
CTRL+j | next item in REPL history
CTRL+k | previous item in REPL history
### Testing in Python
`Spacemacs` uses [nose][nose] as a test runner. An improved version of
[nose.el][nose.el] is shipped with `Spacemacs`, this version adds:
- windows support
- test suite support
The root of the project is detected with a `.git` directory or a `setup.cfg` file.
Test commands (start with m t or m T):
No Debug | Description
---------------------|------------------------------------------------------------
SPC m t a | launch all tests of the project
SPC m t b | launch all tests of the current buffer (same as module)
SPC m t m | launch all tests of the current module
SPC m t s | launch all tests of the current suite
SPC m t t | launch the current test (function)
Debug | Description
---------------------|------------------------------------------------------------
SPC m T a | launch all tests of the project in debug mode
SPC m T b | launch all tests of the current buffer (module) in debug mode
SPC m T m | launch all tests of the current module in debug mode
SPC m T s | launch all tests of the current suite in debug mode
SPC m T t | launch the current test (function) in debug mode
### Other Python commands
Key Binding | Description
----------------------|------------------------------------------------------------
SPC m d b | toggle a breakpoint
SPC m g g | go to definition using `anaconda-mode-goto` (C-o to jump back)
SPC m h h | quick documentation using anaconda
SPC m h H | open documentation in `firefox` using [pylookup][pylookup]
SPC m v | activate a virtual environment with [pyvenv][pyvenv]
### Django
Django related key bindings uses [pony-mode][] and are behind the prefix
SPC m j.
Configuration options for pony-mode are documented at
[deadpansincerity.com](http://www.deadpansincerity.com/docs/pony/configuration.html)
Manage Django with SPC m j m.
#### Fabric
Key Binding | Description

#### Interactive
Key Binding | Description
----------------------|------------------------------------------------------------
mjid | Run interpreter for this project's default database as an inferior process
mjis | Open a Python shell with the current pony project's context loaded. If the project has the django_extras package installed, then use the excellent `shell_plus` command. Otherwise, fall back to `manage.py shell`
#### Server
Key Binding | Description
----------------------|------------------------------------------------------------
mjrd | Stop the dev server
mjro | Open a tab at the dev server
mjrr | Restart the dev server (works better with django_extras/werkzeug)

mjte | Go to the file and line of the last stack trace in a test buffer
mjto | Open the file in a traceback at the line specified
mjtt | Run the test(s) given by `command`
mjtu | Move up the traceback one level
