ropemacs — Edward O’Connor

I’ve just found out about rope, a refactoring library for Python, and ropemacs, an Emacs frontend for it (built with pymacs). I’m looking forward to using it for work.

Setting it up was a snap:

download Pymacs, then python setup.py install
download rope, then python setup.py install
download ropemacs, then python setup.py install
Ensure pymacs.el is in your Emacs load-path.

Add the following to .emacs:

(require 'pymacs)
(pymacs-load "ropemacs" "rope-")

You should be good to go at at this point.

Interested to hear how it goes. Lord knows we need some refactoring.
