py-shell-name is ignored

[Boris Kheyfets]

It's a re-openning of

https://bugs.launchpad.net/python-mode/+bug/943832

in rev 892 - this bug is not fixed.

I do have:
(setq py-shell-name "/usr/bin/ipython")
in my .emacs

Still, when I open some .py file the value of py-shell-name is `python'. Not `ipython'. Hence - py-execute-buffer opens python instead of ipython.

Hi Boris,

I'm afraid we have a matter of understanding.

You stated already:

yes, shebang must take precedence.

BTW C-u M-x py-execute-buffer should enforce default py-shell-name too

it's at least a docu-bug

Probably we should have basic commands "py-execute-..." with suffix "-force", using the default value of py-shell-name

So the bug report in invalid. I'm sorry. Thanks for the python-mode.

Hi Boris,

your report is valid in that it revealed a problem others would face probably too.
Considered it as a feature request, changed the API slightly, so it may be easier to use.

thanks back,

Andreas
