Emacs Python: Echoing, Hooks and Org-mode

Question

Based on this question I discovered how to fix the echoing problem in the python shell in emacs. What I want to do is add this to my .emacs file so that it will happen automati

Answer 1

My brief investigation into this shows that python-mode (as found in my Emacs) has no py-shell-hook, so naturally it won't run anything you put in there.

When I looked at python-mode, there are no hooks that it runs, so you are a bit out of luck.

Your best bet it to just make your own command, for exmaple:

(defun alex-python-shell ()
  "Start a python shell my way."
  (interactive)
  (python-shell)
  (python-startup))

If you need to call python-shell interactively, use

(call-interactively 'python-shell)
