[PYTHONMAC-SIG] Python and Alpha?

[Rob Managan]

John,

On 9/16 Bill Bedford mailto:billb@mousa.demon.co.uk posted a preliminary
python mode. I have attached what I am currently using.(only to John
directly). It would be nice to be able to set up a menu like with
CodeWarrior to send the current window to Python as a script to run. I
don't know if the Python apps support that yet.

The mode file could use a mark routine that strips off the arguments of a
function so they don't show up in the popup menu.
