An emacs mode for using rope refactoring library
Project description
Ropemacs is an emacs mode that uses rope library to provide features like refactorings and code-assists. You should install rope library and pymacs before using ropemacs.
New Features
Find occurrences; C-c f
Lucky-assist; M-?
Setting many configs using batchset in dialogs
Showing the old value of a field in dialogs
New file/directory/module/package; C-x p n [fdmp]
Edit project config; C-x p c
Updating buffers with moved files after refactorings
Extracting similar pieces defaults to yes in extract refactorings
Setting Up
You can get pymacs from http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~pinard/pymacs/. But version 0.22 does not work with Python 2.5 because of the lack of file encoding declarations. A simple patch is included: docs/pymacs_python25.patch.
After installing pymacs, add these lines to your ~/.emacs file:
(require 'pymacs) (pymacs-load "ropemacs" "rope-") (rope-init)
Rope registers its local keys using python-mode hook. If you don’t want to use rope with python-mode you can add rope-register-local-keys lisp function to some other hook.
If you want to load ropemacs only when you really need it, you can use a function like this instead of that:
(defun load-ropemacs () "Load pymacs and ropemacs" (interactive) (require 'pymacs) (pymacs-load "ropemacs" "rope-") (rope-init) ;; Automatically save project python buffers before refactorings (setq rope-confirm-saving 'nil) )
And execute load-ropemacs whenever you want to use ropemacs. Also if you don’t want to install rope library and ropemacs you can extract them somewhere and add these lines to your .emacs:
;; Add this before loading pymacs if you haven't installed rope and ropemacs (setq pymacs-load-path '("/home/ali/projects/rope" "/home/ali/projects/ropemacs"))
