In emacs lisp how do I silence "Process python-process finished"

Output

You can silence the "Process python-process finished" message in Emacs Lisp by setting the `comint-process-echoes` variable to `nil`. Here's how you can do it: **1. Globally:** Add the following line to your `.emacs` or `init.el` file:

   (setq comint-process-echoes nil)
   

This will disable the message for all comint processes, including Python processes. **2. Locally for Python processes:** You can also disable the message specifically for Python processes by adding a hook to the `python-mode-hook`:

   (add-hook 'python-mode-hook
             (lambda ()
               (setq comint-process-echoes nil)))
   

This will only disable the message for buffers in `python-mode`. **3. Temporarily:** You can also toggle the message on and off temporarily by using the `comint-toggle-process-echoes` command. You can bind this command to a keybinding for easier access. For example, to bind it to `C-c p`:

   (global-set-key (kbd "C-c p") 'comint-toggle-process-echoes)
   

Remember that disabling these messages can make it harder to debug issues with your Python processes, as you won't see any output from the process in the echo area. Use this setting cautiously and re-enable the messages if you need to troubleshoot.

Output

You can silence the "Process python-process finished" message in Emacs Lisp by setting the `comint-process-echoes` variable to `nil`. This variable controls whether Comint (the Emacs mode for interacting with subprocesses) echoes process start and end messages to the echo area. Here's how to set the variable:

(setq comint-process-echoes nil)

You can add this line to your Emacs initialization file (`~/.emacs` or `~/.emacs.d/init.el`) to make the change permanent. **Alternative: Using a Hook** If you want to silence the message only for specific modes or buffers, you can use a hook. For example, to silence the message only in Python buffers, add the following to your configuration:

(add-hook 'python-mode-hook
          (lambda ()
            (setq comint-process-echoes nil)))

This code will set `comint-process-echoes` to `nil` whenever you open a Python file. **Note:** Disabling process echoes might make it harder to track the status of running processes. Consider the trade-off between convenience and visibility before making this change.

Output

You can silence the "Process python-process finished" message in Emacs Lisp using the following methods: **1. Setting `python-shell-completion-notification-string`** This method allows you to customize the completion message, including setting it to an empty string for silence.

(setq python-shell-completion-notification-string "")

**2. Setting `comint-completion-notification-function`** This method offers finer control over the notification behavior by letting you specify a custom function.

(setq comint-completion-notification-function
      (lambda (proc msg)
        (when (string-match "finished" msg)
          ;; Do nothing if "finished" is found in the message
          )
        ;; Otherwise, use the default notification
        (comint-default-completion-notification proc msg)))

This custom function checks if the message contains "finished" and only uses the default notification if it doesn't. **3. Using `with-temp-message`** This method temporarily suppresses the message within a specific scope.

(with-temp-message ""
  (python-shell-send-string "*Python*" "print('Hello, world!')"))

This example suppresses any messages within the `with-temp-message` block, including the process completion message. **4. Disabling `comint-process-echoes`** This variable controls whether Comint displays process-related messages.

(setq comint-process-echoes nil)

**Note:** Disabling `comint-process-echoes` will silence all process-related messages, not just the Python process completion message. Choose the method that best suits your needs. For simply silencing the Python process completion message, setting `python-shell-completion-notification-string` to an empty string is the simplest solution.

**2. Restart Emacs or evaluate the code to apply the change.** **Explanation:** * `comint-process-echoes`: This variable controls how Comint echoes process-related messages. * `nil`: Setting it to `nil` disables echoing process start and end messages. **Alternative Approach: Using a Hook** You can also achieve this using a hook that runs before executing Python code. This approach is more targeted if you want to silence the message only for Python processes.

(add-hook 'python-mode-hook
          (lambda ()
            (setq comint-process-echoes nil)))

This code snippet adds a hook to `python-mode-hook`, ensuring that `comint-process-echoes` is set to `nil` whenever you enter `python-mode`. Remember to restart Emacs or evaluate the code to apply the changes. After implementing either of these solutions, you should no longer see the "Process python-process finished" message in the echo area.

Output

You can silence the "Process python-process finished" message in Emacs Lisp by customizing the `comint-process-echoes` variable. Here's how: **1. Understanding `comint-process-echoes`** - This variable controls what messages from subprocesses (like your Python process) are displayed in the echo area (the minibuffer). - By default, it's set to `t`, meaning all messages are echoed. **2. Customizing the Variable** You have two main options: **a) Completely Silence Process Messages** - Add the following to your `.emacs` or `init.el` file:

       (setq comint-process-echoes nil)
       

- This will prevent *all* process-related messages from appearing in the echo area. **b) Selectively Silence "Process ... finished" Messages** - This approach gives you more control. Here's how:

       (setq comint-process-echoes 
             '("running" "connected" "failed" "exited")) 
       

- This code sets `comint-process-echoes` to a list of specific messages you *do* want to see. - Since "finished" is not in the list, those messages will be silenced. **3. Reloading the Configuration** - After adding either of these options to your configuration file, evaluate the code (e.g., by restarting Emacs or evaluating the buffer). **Example**

;; Silence only "Process ... finished" messages
(setq comint-process-echoes 
      '("running" "connected" "failed" "exited")) 

**Important Notes:** - **Debugging:** While silencing these messages can be convenient, keep in mind that they might be helpful for debugging. If you're having issues with a process, consider temporarily re-enabling the messages. - **Alternative:** If you only want to silence the message for a specific process or buffer, you can use the `comint-suppress-carriage-return` variable locally within that buffer. By customizing `comint-process-echoes`, you can control the verbosity of process messages and keep your Emacs echo area clean and focused.
