python-mode.el fails on an empty file

[François Pinard]

Hi again.

Editing an empty Python file raises an error, about "erg" being undefined.

It may come from py-guess-indent-offset, where the condition of the while never reaches the setq.

François

P.S. What is "erg" standing for? Is it an acronym? A non-English word? An English word I do not know? :-)

[Georg Brandl (gbrandl)]

Probably "ergebnis", meaning result in German :)

[Andreas Roehler (a-roehler)]

Indeed.
Only used from inside let.
Previously used "res", as from result.
However the pro is, when seeing "erg" as here, already know where it must be from.

Nonetheless, can't reproduce.
Please send the output from M-x report-emacs-bug

Georg, do you get this error?

Thanks,

Andreas

Hmm, I think "Editing an empty Python file" is not well specified. Does it occur directly when finding the file, or when trying to insert some text?

Okay, see an error here. "erg" is used by setq but not introduced by let.
