Hi ,
i have the following in my .emacs file(thanks to a SOer nikwin), which evaluates the current buffer content and displays the output in another buffer.
 (defun shell-compile ()
  (interactive)
(save-buffer)
   (shell-command (concat "python " (buffer-file-name))))
 (add-hook 'python-mode-hook
           (lambda () (local-set-key (kbd "\C-c\C-c") 'shell-compile)))
The problem is that the output window takes half the emacs screen. Is there any way to set the output windows's height to something smaller. I googled for 30mins or so and could not find anything that worked. Thanks in advance.
