pair-mode: remove "(" from pair-mode-chars when in python-mode.

[Livin Stephen Sharma]

Hi.

 How can I turn OFF the pair-mode char being inserted ONLY for "("

 ( but NOT for the other quote/braces/etc chars ) .

Details...

 [[[ I don't know lisp. ]]]

... I'm trying to have pair-mode ON in python-mode, BUT not have ")" auto-inserted when I type "(".

 For other characters like

[

{

<

'

"

etc, I DO want pair-mode to provide the matching pair.

I'd been at it (trial-and-error) for some time with no progress, so I tried this to try to see ANY change in behaviour:

  (make-variable-buffer-local 'pair-mode-chars)

  (make-variable-buffer-local 'pair-mode-map)

  (set 'pair-mode-chars '(91))

  (set 'pair-mode-map '(keymap (91 . skeleton-pair-insert-maybe)))

C-h v pair-mode-chars _does_ show this:

.. Its value is (91)                                                                                                                                     

                                                                                                                                                      

Local in buffer HelloBrian.py; global value is                                                                                                        

(40 91 123 60 2219 96 34 39) ...                                                                                                                         

But even so, the matching character being inserted for ALL of these:

<{("'`

I expected pair-mode be working only for "[" ?

I'd appreciate help on this.

What is pair-mode? It is not distributed with Emacs 22.3.

Thanks for the response - I was losing hope :)

With an example:

 If I type in an opening-parenthesis,

 pair-mode will insert a matching closing-parenthesis immediately after my input.

It works similarly for other characters like {,[,",',<, etc.

By providing a }.],",',>, etc character as the case may be.

 - makes for some minor (and very convenient) key-stroke savings. I'd just like to turn it off for "("  when in python-mode.

I think this is where I got it:
