Clear steps to install pymacs with emacs 24?

Question

I want autocompletion and refactoring in emacs with python.

I gather that I need rope to do this. To do this with emacs, I need ropemacs. Ropmacs depends on pyma

Answer 1

I think the easiest way to install ropemacs is to use el-get: M-x el-get-install ropemacs. It installs and build Pymacs, rope and ropemacs. I know that it works on Linux. See the el-get document for more information. (disclaimer: I wrote the installation recipe for el-get so obviously I am biased to my solution)

The difference from the solution using pip is that it setups the Emacs side of Pymacs correctly.
