| 3 | ============= |

| 5 | If you want to edit Python code in Emacs, you should download python-mode.el |
| 6 | and install it somewhere on your load-path. See the project page to download: |

| 9 | |
| 10 | While Emacs comes with a python.el file, it is not recommended. |
| 11 | python-mode.el is maintained by core Python developers and is generally |
| 12 | considered more Python programmer friendly. For example, python-mode.el |
| 13 | includes a killer feature called `pdbtrack` which allows you to set a pdb |
| 14 | breakpoint in your code, run your program in an Emacs shell buffer, and do gud |
| 15 | style debugging when the breakpoint is hit. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | python-mode.el is compatible with both GNU Emacs from the FSF, and XEmacs. |
