easiest way to setup XEmacs on Gentoo for Python

I want to use (X)Emacs on my Gentoo system and wonder about the "correct" (or easiest) way to setup it to be used for Python development (i.e. intelligent auto-completion via tab and all those usual stuff).

I want to avoid installing anything by hand - I want to use my Portage/emerge as far as possible.

I have installed xemacs, python-mode and python-modes so far. Seems that I had to manually enable syntax highlighting and the syntax highligh开发者_StackOverflowting support seems kind of limited. And auto completion via tab doesn't work at all (I guess it's also not enabled or python-mode(s) doesn't have that?).

Thanks for your help!

I used this tutorial myself at EnigmaCurry.

You can use easy_install to install rope and ropemacs. And then I believe you only need to copy the autocomplete.el script on that site.

good luck.
