EMACS - python-mode 100% CPU usage

[speeves]

Binary package hint: semantic

After installing:

ii emacs-snapshot-bin-common 20060915-1 The GNU Emacs editor's shared, architecture
ii emacs-snapshot-common 20060915-1 The GNU Emacs editor's common infrastructure
ii emacs-snapshot-gtk 20060915-1 The GNU Emacs editor (with GTK+ 2.x support)
ii python-mode 1.0-2 Emacs-lisp python-mode and doctest-mode for
ii semantic 1.0pre3-1 Parser Infrastructure for Emacsen

I found that emacs was taking up 100% cpu after opening a python file for editing. I traced it down to semantic, and the following patch:

fixed the issue. Here is how:

1. copy the patch text into ~/downloads/semantic-idle.patch

2. sudo cp /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/semantic/semantic-idle.el ~/downloads/

3. patch semantic-idle.el semantic-idle.patch

4. emacs -batch -f batch-byte-compile semantic-idle.el

5. sudo cp semantic-idle.el /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/semantic/

6. sudo cp semantic-idle.elc /usr/share/emacs-snapshot/site-lisp/semantic/

7. start emacs-snapshot-gtk

I'm still unclear as to how you can recompile the /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/semantic/*.el files, and push them out to every ${FLAVOR} of emacs, but the steps above will work for now...

This seems to effect more than just python-mode...

When I try to patch, it returns :

patching file semantic-idle.el
Hunk #1 FAILED at 1.
Hunk #2 FAILED at 286.
2 out of 2 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file semantic-idle.el.rej

It's normal ?

It fails on hunk #1, but this is only file and author information.

It probably failed on hunk #2, because you didn't have permissions to write
to the file. Did you copy it to your home dir? (You can do it on the
original in /usr/share... as sudo, but I would backup the original before
performing this operation).

But I've permissions to write to this file ?
Another idea ?

semantic-idle.el.rej:

      (unwind-protect

It's the rejects but I don't understand.

Can you send the your exact commands and output? that might give us some
insight into the issue.

myster@laptop:~/dowloads$patch semantic-idle.el semantic-idle.patch

patching file semantic-idle.el
Hunk #1 FAILED at 1.
Hunk #2 FAILED at 286.
2 out of 2 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file semantic-idle.el.rej

It's everything
And I gave you the result of "semantic-idle.el.rej"
Thanks you for your help.

And, can you run:

myster@laptop:~/dowloads$ ls -l semantic-idle*

[Myster (kevin-weber)]

Yes, it's the same errors
Thanks,

[Michael Gratton (mjog)]

This changes in this patch (when it is applied) fixes this problem.

[Michael Olson (mwolson)]

This is fixed in gutsy.

[Michael Olson (mwolson)]

Actually, it doesn't quite seem to be fixed due to a packaging mistake. In a bit, I will attach a debdiff for a ubuntu-specific version that really fixes it.

[Michael Olson (mwolson)]

Marked as a duplicate of #93667, since it wil be fixed once the new cedet package gets synced from Debian.
