Table of Contents

Description

This layer adds support for the Python language.

Features:

Layer

To use this contribution add it to your ~/.spacemacs

(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(python))

Anaconda dependencies

anaconda-mode tries to install the dependencies itself but sometimes it does not work and you may encounter the following message when opening a python buffer:

Blocking call to accept-process-output with quit inhibited!!

To fix this, install the anaconda-mode dependencies by hand:

pip install  jedi==0.8.1 json-rpc==1.8.1 service_factory==0.1.2

Source: https://github.com/proofit404/anaconda-mode#issues

Automatic buffer formatting on save

To enable automatic buffer formatting on save with YAPF set the variable python-enable-yapf-format-on-save to t.

(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(
  (python :variables python-enable-yapf-format-on-save t)))

Key Bindings

Inferior REPL process

Start a Python or iPython inferior REPL process with SPC m s 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 s b | send buffer and keep code buffer focused SPC m s B | send buffer and switch to REPL in insert mode SPC m s f | send function and keep code buffer focused SPC m s F | send function and switch to REPL in insert mode SPC m s i | start inferior REPL process SPC m s r | send region and keep code buffer focused SPC m s R | send region and switch to REPL in insert mode CTRL+j | next item in REPL history CTRL+k | previous item in REPL history

Running Python Script in shell

To run a Python script like you would in the shell press SPC m c c to start the Python script in comint mode. This is useful when working with multiple Python files since the REPL does not reload changes made in other modules.

Key Binding       |                 Description

----------------------|------------------------------------------------------------ SPC m c c | Execute current file in a comint shell SPC m c C | Execute current file in a comint shell and switch to it in insert state

Note With the universal argument SPC u you can enter a new compilation command.

Testing in Python

Spacemacs uses nose as a test runner. An improved version of 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 = | Reformat the buffer according to PEP8 using YAPF 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 d | look for documentation using helm-pydoc SPC m h h | quick documentation using anaconda SPC m h H | open documentation in firefox using pylookup SPC m v | activate a virtual environment with pyenv SPC m V | activate a virtual environment with pyvenv
