This is a static archive of the Python wiki, which was retired in February 2026 due to lack of usage and the resources necessary to serve it — predominately to bots, crawlers, and LLM companies.
Pages are preserved as they were at the time of archival. For current information, please visit python.org.
If a change to this archive is absolutely needed, requests can be made via the infrastructure@python.org mailing list.

python-mode (python-mode.el) is a major mode for editing Python with the EmacsEditor. It is a separate mode from the Python mode included in GNU Emacs, known as python.el, and can be installed as an alternative.

python-mode is available on MELPA as python-mode.

The EmacsWiki page ProgrammingWithPythonModeDotEl has information on how to install, configure and add shortcuts keys. An example how to setup a complete IDE around python-mode was shown at EuroPython 2013.
