Re: [PATCH] Fix ob-python.el initiate session error with py-shell

[Bastien]

Hi all,

in future releases of Org, we will move toward stricter rules on what
to accept as ob-* libraries and what modes these libraries should rely
upon.

This was briefly mentioned in this email:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2020-02/msg00714.html

For example, we can have a rule that we don't include ob-* libraries
for languages that are not somehow known by Emacs.  It would mean that
e.g. ob-clojure.el would have to live outside Org's core.

Also, for included ob-*, the idea would be to use the mode that are
bundled with Emacs core.  For Python, it would mean that ob-python.el
should support python.el, not python-mode.el.

This is not to say that python.el is better than python-mode.el: I
have no opinion on this and I'm confident both meet different users.

But that's something to consider.

We can always have another ob-python-mode.el file for users who use
python-mode.el: even the names would make it clear that Org babel uses
one mode and not the other.

I suggest we have the discussion on such rules after Org 9.4, but in
the meantime, this is something you may consider when fixing hacking
on ob-python.el.

Best,
