pymacs-load-history

[leoliu]

I remembered when first tried out pymacs I was asked this question: Killing the Pymacs helper might create zombie objects. To be honest even today I have only vague idea what it is.

So I just started using something in this patch: https://gist.github.com/2576300 and find it to be useful. It turns out it will capture most important things users care about. I haven't tested it thoroughly but posted here so that I can have input from other than myself.

Thanks. Leo

+1 for adding pymacs-load-history. I have similar in my Emacs setting using defadvice and it is very useful.

Hello, Leo. Sounds interesting indeed. Let me release Pymacs now, and consider your suggestion next.

Hi, Leo.

Would you apply this patch to your own fork of Pymacs, then send a pull request? This is just so to mark you as the commiter. Absolutely no problem if you do not feel like doing so, I'll then merely apply the patch myself.

Just did it. My first time using the pull requests feature in github.

Not related to the topic at hand.

I wonder if the following tweak is good to have: https://github.com/leoliu/Pymacs/commit/9828d798a6049985258855b95c065d8de28b3171

Hi, Leo. I'm not finding how to automatically apply the commit above (if you happen to know, tell me of course!). If you do a pull request out of it, I know how :-). Make on, if it does not bother you too much. In the meantime, I'll try fetching your own Pymacs fork into mine at home, do the cherry pick locally and push it back to GitHub afterwards. Normally, accepting your pull request on GitHubthen should then be a no-operation, and that's I would like to test.

Done here, for your commit 9828d. Thanks!

[leoliu]

Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience.

Inconvenience? None at all! You're a nice collaborator, Leo, never think nothing less of yourself! Thanks
