I'm hoping it can color python syntax as well as indent it correctly, etc. <br>My problems are:<br><br>1. Where should you place the 'python-mode.el' file? I downloaded a folder from 'sourceforge.net' that contains 4 <br>files (python-mode.el, doctest-mode.el, pycomplete.el and pycomplete.py). I couldn't find any installation <br>instructions anywhere. Do I use all 4 files or just the one and where should it go? One web-site said the 'python-<br>mode.el' file needed to be compiled before being moved to whereever it needs to go. How does one compile these things?<br><br>2. All the web-sites I found about installing this said I should change my .emacs file which should be located in <br>my home folder. I can't find a .emacs file anywhere on my machine. The only thing close to it is a .emacs.d folder <br>which contains an autosave folder. Does anyone know where this .emacs file is located? Or do I need to manually create one?<br><br>Thanks for looking at my questions.<br><br>Jay</span>
