bug#41361: Fwd: Re: python.el: improve sexp-based navigation or make it optional?

[Andreas Röhler]

Hi,

maybe make forward-sexp-function customizable. Currently that var is set inside the derived mode:

  (set (make-local-variable 'forward-sexp-function)
       'python-nav-forward-sexp)

and comment section in python.el head contains:

If you prefer `cc-mode'-like
;; `forward-sexp' movement, setting `forward-sexp-function' to nil is
;; enough, You can do that using the `python-mode-hook':

;; (add-hook 'python-mode-hook
;;           (lambda () (setq forward-sexp-function nil)))

Thread is here:

Thanks,

Andreas

In absence of such mode, I wonder if it would be a welcome addition to
introduce a configuration parameter that at least disables the smart
navigation, making sexp skip one symbol or explicitly
parenthesized/bracketed _expression_ at a time.

Maybe that does it?: (from python.el)
