Package: elpa-elpy
Version: 1.28.0-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I've been struggling with getting elpy to work on Debian stable.
For right now, some comments and suggestions about README.Debian.
1) There's a typo in your code:
(setq python-shell-interpreter "python"
python-shell-interpreter-args "-i")
elpy-rpc-python-command "python")
It should be:
(setq python-shell-interpreter "python"
python-shell-interpreter-args "-i"
elpy-rpc-python-command "python")
2) You should mention that elpy isn't loaded by default, and indicate
how to load it. Historically, Debian packages autoload modes once
installed, and personally I find that more convenient. But I
understand if you don't load it to preserce compatibility with
upstream EPLA.
The elpy manual mentions in
https://elpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/introduction.html that elpy
should be enabled with
(package-initialize)
(elpy-enable)
Just the second line works for me here. I'm not sure what the first
part does. Some sort of global enable, apparently.
3) I suggest mentioning the upstream manual in README.Debian. Namely,
https://elpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
4) And if I were writing the README.Debian, I'd also mention that C-c
C-c runs the buffer, and that you need C-c C-z to open up a Python
interpreter buffer. This would help people to get going quickly,
instead of flailing around trying to figure out what to do.
These commands are both in
https://elpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ide.html
C-c C-y r (elpy-shell-send-region-or-buffer)
[...]
Also bound to C-c C-c.
and
C-c C-z (elpy-shell-switch-to-shell)
There are a ton of commands in that manual, and it's really
confusing. But you really only need a couple to get going. That manual
really needs a quickstart page.
Do you happen to know if it is possible to configure emacs to open a
Python buffer in elpy mode by default and skip the C-c C-z?
5) I'm also running into the error message mentioned in
https://github.com/jorgenschaefer/elpy/issues/1521
Should I report it here? Or just upstream? I added a comment to that
thread.
6) Your bug report template should include the output of
elpy-config. I've included mine at the bottom. I'm not sure what is going on with
Elpy..............: Not found (Python), 1.28.0 (Emacs Lisp)
though. What's the difference between those two cases?
7) I suggest adding Python 2 packages to the package
dependencies/recommends/suggests too. Like for Jedi. People are still
using Python 2, and are likely to be doing so for awhile.

You have not activated a virtual env. While Elpy supports this, it is
often a good idea to work inside a virtual env. You can use M-x
pyvenv-activate or M-x pyvenv-workon to activate a virtual env.
The directory ~/.local/bin/ is not in your PATH. As there is no active
virtualenv, installing Python packages locally will place executables
in that directory, so Emacs won't find them. If you are missing some
commands, do add this directory to your PATH -- and then do
`elpy-rpc-restart'.
The Python interpreter could not find the elpy module. Make sure the
module is installed.
[run] easy_install --user elpy
The yapf package is not available. Commands using this will not work.
[run] easy_install --user yapf
The black package is not available. Commands using this will not work.
[run] easy_install --user black
