Elpy 1.4.1 Released

I just released version 1.4.1 of Elpy, the Emacs Python Development Environment. This is a bugfix release.

Elpy is an Emacs package to bring powerful Python editing to Emacs. It combines a number of other packages, both written in Emacs Lisp as well as Python.

Quick Installation

Evaluate this:

(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives
             '("elpy" .
               "http://jorgenschaefer.github.io/packages/"))

Then run M-x package-install RET elpy RET.

Finally, run the following (and add them to your .emacs):

(package-initialize)
(elpy-enable)

Changes in 1.4.1

  • Elpy now sets project-wide preferences for Rope, enabling completion in the sys package, among others.
  • An error is avoided in the Jedi backend when trying to go to symbols in compiled packages.
  • A compatibility alias was added for nose.el, which insists on breaking backwards compatibility with Emacs 24.x.
