nschum / guess-style Goto Github PK

I am not sure if the following is an issue with emacs-24.4.1 or guess-style. But dropping guess-style/ inside .emacs.d raises the following error upon opening a python file. I moved it out else where to solve the problem.

Could not guess variable 'indent-tabs-mode' (Cannot open load file: is a directory, /home/XXX/.emacs.\
d/guess-style)
Could not guess variable 'tab-width' (Not enough lines to guess variable)
Could not guess variable 'c-basic-offset' (Not a cc-mode)
Could not guess variable 'nxml-child-indent' (Not certain enough to guess variable)
Could not guess variable 'css-indent-offset' (Not certain enough to guess variable)
Could not guess variable 'python-indent-offset' (Not certain enough to guess variable)

My .emacs file looks as below:

(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/.emacs.d/guess-style"))
(require 'guess-style)
(autoload 'guess-style-set-variable "guess-style" nil t)
(autoload 'guess-style-guess-variable "guess-style")
(autoload 'guess-style-guess-all "guess-style" nil t)
(add-hook 'python-mode-hook 'guess-style-guess-all)

Feel free to ignore/close the issue if you deem it's irrelevant.

It would be much easier than downloading it from github.

Running Emacs 24.3 with the following setup

(autoload 'guess-style-set-variable "guess-style" nil t)
(autoload 'guess-style-guess-variable "guess-style")
(autoload 'guess-style-guess-all "guess-style" nil t)
(setq guess-style-info-mode 1)
(add-hook 'prog-mode-hook 'guess-style-guess-all)

yields the following error message when loading python-mode:

File mode specification error: (error "Don't know how to make a localized variable an alias")

and python-mode will not load, which is fairly annoying.

Replacing the deprecated python-indent by python-indent-offset in guess-style-guesser-alist did the trick for me.

lisps/guess-style.el: flet' is an obsolete macro (as of 24.3); use eithercl-flet' or `cl-letf'.

The instructions for installation suggest using "add-to-path" to add to the load-path. Should this be "add-to-list"?
