Loading python-mode.el with use-package - still get python.el - emacs

I just discovered use-package and I'd like to use it with python-mode.el. I'm trying this:
(use-package python-mode
:mode ("\\.py\\'" . python-mode)
:interpreter ("python" . python-mode))
but am still getting python.el for python-mode. The use-package example specifically describes using python.el for python-mode, but I want the opposite. Can I accomplish that with use-package?
(I'm using GNU Emacs 24.5.1 on OS X if that's important.)

Don't use the keywords :mode and :interpreter. It works for me, like this:
(use-package python-mode
:init
...
:config
...)

The only working solution I found is there:
https://superuser.com/questions/108233/how-can-i-prevent-the-python-el-that-ships-with-emacs-23-from-ever-loading/999608#999608
In your .emacs, force the loading of the bad package first, then override it with the correct one:
(require 'python)
(require 'python-mode)

How to turn on evil mode on emacs startup

I've been using nvim for a while and recently thought about checking emacs out after learning about evil mode. I made init.el in .config/emacs, installed evil mode and figured i would try to enable it whenever i start up emacs.
So i wrote this bit of code in init.el:
(defun evil-mode-on ()
(require evil)
(evil-mode 1))
(add-hook 'after-init-hook 'evil-mode-on)
But unfortunately it doesn't seem to work and i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong. Any help would be very much appreciated and thanks in advance.
You seems to be missing apostrophe(') in require. It should be (require 'evil)
Enabling evil mode at startup could be as simple as specifying
(require 'evil)
(evil-mode 1)
in your init.el file as long as package is already installed and/loaded.
Github page has in detailed instruction to install it automatically with the help of use-package.

Is there a way to use Rmarkdown in Spacemacs?

I know that Emacs has the polymode package that allows coding in RMarkdown. However, it seems that Spacemacs is still missing the equivalent of a polymode layer.
I have been trying to install it directly into Spacemacs, with no success. Therefore my question: is there a way to edit RMarkdown files in Spacemacs (not plain Emacs).
you can add packages to spacemacs by adding them to dotspacemacs-additional-packages in your .spacemacs:
dotspacemacs-additional-packages '(polymode poly-R poly-noweb poly-markdown)
after a restart the packages should get installed automatically, you probably want to set some other options in dotspacemacs/user-config () e.g. something like:
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.md" . poly-markdown-mode))
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.Snw" . poly-noweb+r-mode))
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.Rnw" . poly-noweb+r-mode))
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.Rmd" . poly-markdown+r-mode))
Edit:
polymode got a rework.
There's no official polymode layer for Spacemacs, but I've found a couple of implementations in random configs on GitHub. Here's one that works for me:

"ESS Markdown mode for Rmd files"
(interactive)
(require 'poly-R)
(require 'poly-markdown)
(R-mode)
(poly-markdown+r-mode))
))
)
;;; packages.el ends here
There are a few ways to work with private custom layers like this, but one straightforward and easy way is to...
Save the code above as a file named packages.el in ~/.emacs.d/layers/private/polymode/.
Add polymode to your list of dotspacemacs/layers, e.g.
(defun dotspacemacs/layers ()
ess
polymode
python
...
Restart Emacs and the polymode package should install.
Using this, you shouldn't have to use (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist... to declare the particular mode that .Rmd files should use since it's defined in the layer. I retrieved this particular layer from here. I tried one or two others as well, but they didn't work for me.

auto-complete-mode not working

I just followed this site to install auto-complete on Emacs. I installed it with "M-x load-file RETURN ~/path/to/etc/install.el".
The output of my installation was: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6184523/
After that, I added the recommended code to my ~/.emacs file and restarted Emacs. Typing "M-x auto-complete-mode" says "No match". I also tried to fix it by replacing flet with c-flet etc. but it hasn't changed anything too.
Version: GNU Emacs 24.3.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.8.2)
Emacs has a package manager now. So just install the package from the list and you're done.
Here's the configuration that adds the two most popular repositories:
(package-initialize)
(add-to-list
'package-archives
'("marmalade" . "http://marmalade-repo.org/packages/"))
(add-to-list
'package-archives
'("melpa" . "http://melpa.milkbox.net/packages/"))
After this, M-x package-list-packages. The rest is pretty intuitive.
UPD: A simple auto-complete setup for C++
(add-hook 'c++-mode-hook
(lambda()
(semantic-mode 1)
(define-key c++-mode-map (kbd "C-z") 'c++-auto-complete)))
(defun c++-auto-complete ()
(interactive)
(let ((ac-sources
`(ac-source-semantic
,#ac-sources)))
(auto-complete)))
I tried some solutions that worked for other people, but it didn't quite work out.
Try setting the environment variable(s) to ~/emacs.d/ in both .profile and .bashrc
If that doesn't work out, try exporting the environment variable(s) with su root (won't work with sudo).
At least that worked for me while trying to install auto-complete-mode with golangs auto-complete-mode

Auto-Complete with Emacs 24 doesn't work with Java, C or C++ modes

I installed auto-complete using the marmalade repo. Everything installed correctly and after moving stuff around I managed to start up and run auto-correct without any errors with the following code in my init.el:
;; auto-complete
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/elpa/auto-complete")
(require 'auto-complete-config)
(add-to-list 'ac-dictionary-directories "~/.emacs.d/elpa/auto-complete/dict")
(ac-config-default)
Now I can use auto-complete with no hick-ups with Emacs Lisp but whenever I use any other mode, like, Java, C, or C++ it doesn't work at all.
I have yasnippet installed too (it works perfectly), not sure if that might have anything to do with it. Here's the relevant code in my init.el:
;;yasnippet
(add-to-list 'load-path
"~/.emacs.d/plugins/yasnippet")
(require 'yasnippet)
(yas-global-mode 1)
I am in the process of learning Emacs and currently I'm still a noob. I've been looking all over the documentation and SO but haven't found anything. I'd really appreciate any help whatsoever on this.
You may need to add completion sources. Here's what's in my config:
(set-default 'ac-sources
'(ac-source-abbrev
ac-source-dictionary
ac-source-yasnippet
ac-source-words-in-buffer
ac-source-words-in-same-mode-buffers
ac-source-semantic))
Update: ac-config-default should cover this, but if autocomplete isn't activating for those modes, try putting the following in your init.el:
(dolist (m '(c-mode c++-mode java-mode))
(add-to-list 'ac-modes m))
(global-auto-complete-mode t)
Update2: I've posted a gist that adapts your init.el to pull autocomplete using package-install.
I can't tell what version of auto-complete you were referencing, but the latest is working fine for me.
I have exact same issue as you. Emacs-Lisp works perfect with auto-complete but C, C++ doesn't work. After trying with various combination, I find out that commenting out yasnippet from .emacs solve my issue. Hope this could help you. My auto-complete version is 1.3.1.

Setting up SLIME & Inferior-Lisp for Clojure in Emacs

SLIME
I'm pretty new to both Clojure & emacs and I've been trying to set up SLIME for Clojure. The official documentation implicitly assumes you know what your doing with emacs. There isn't just a bunch of code you can stick into your configuration files. Since I am interested in Clojure for Data Analysis, I don't really want to deal with Leiningen if at all possible, but I want the dynamic environment that slime provides.
I have installed Clojure from git in /opt/clojure/ and clojure-contrib in /opt/clojure-contrib and I can get a repl. I installed swank-clojure, clojure-mode, and slime from github in `~/.bin following this tutorial. I changed a few things around when this wasn't working by adding some stuff from the comments section of the official documentation.
When I start slime with M-x slime I get a continuous Polling "/tmp/slime.14113".. (Abort with 'M-x slime-abort-connection'.).
Here is my init-clj.el:
;; clojure-mode
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.bin/clojure-mode")
;; swank-clojure
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.bin/swank-clojure")
(setq swank-clojure-jar-path "/opt/clojure/clojure.jar"
swank-clojure-extra-classpaths (list
"~/.bin/swank-clojure/src/swank"
"/opt/clojure/clojure-contrib/target/clojure-contrib-1.2.0-SNAPSHOT.jar"))
(require 'swank-clojure)
;; slime
(eval-after-load "slime"
'(progn (slime-setup '(slime-repl))))
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.bin/slime")
(require 'slime)
(eval-after-load 'slime '(setq slime-protocol-version 'ignore))
(slime-setup '(slime-repl))
(require 'clojure-mode)
(require 'clojure-test-mode)
Here is the error I get when I call it when ants.clj is open:
(progn (load "/home/kca/.bin/slime/swank-loader.lisp" :verbose t) (funcall (read- from-string "swank-loader:init")) (funcall (read-from-string "swank:start-server") "/tmp/slime.14113" :coding-system "iso-latin-1-unix"))
Clojure 1.2.0-master-SNAPSHOT
user=> java.lang.Exception: Unable to resolve symbol: progn in this context (NO_SOURCE_FILE:1)
Inferior Lisp
I made a script in .bin/ called clj-repl that holds the java command to start a repl. I then M-x set-variable inferior-lisp-program /home/wdkrnls/.bin/clj-repl. Emacs complains its the wrong type.
The best way to use Clojure is to start by installing Leiningen.
Then install Swank Clojure as a Leiningen plugin.
Next, I'd recommend stripping your current custom Clojure setup from .emacs, and installing ELPA, and then setting up the following initialization code in your .emacs file:
;; Find this line, added by ELPA:
(require 'package)
;; and add the following expression:
(add-to-list 'package-archives
'("marmalade" .
"http://marmalade-repo.org/packages/") t)
;; ... and the rest of the ELPA init code
(package-initialize)
Then, run package-list-packages and install clojure-mode and slime (and paredit for good measure), and anything else you might want.
This should have you all set up and ready to use SLIME in (Leiningen) Clojure projects. And despite the seemingly complex procedure here, you can create a single "uberjar" from your projects to deploy on other servers with absolutely no dependency hassle.
Try the method detailed here. It takes a couple of minutes to set everything up from scratch on a clean unix or mac box:
