如何更改Elpy自动完成框的颜色，而不是先显示私有变量

Question

I'm trying to get Emacs 24.3.1 running on Ubuntu 14.04 configured for Python development and am using elpy for autocompletion. There are currently two problems I'm facing. Both can be seen in this screenshot:

.

The color scheme is very difficult to work with and the private methods always appear first in the list.

The relevant lines in my emacs init are:

;;pop-ups                                                                                             
(require 'popup)

;;;python-mode

         '("elpy" . "http://jorgenschaefer.github.io/packages/"))

(add-hook 'python-mode-hook 'auto-complete-mode)
(add-hook 'python-mode-hook 'jedi:ac-setup)

Any help with either of these issues would be appreciated.

The color theme is the same as used by the completion method Elpy uses. If you upgraded to the current release of 1.5.1, that would be company-mode . In theory, this should already work correctly with a dark-background Emacs. Try setting frame-background-mode to dark first — maybe Emacs did not detect your background correctly (though it should). If that fails, you can change the colors ("faces") it uses by doing Mx customize-group RET company RET and look for options with "face" in their name.

Changing the order of the completions is a bit more tricky and would require changing some code within Elpy. I created an issue for this request.
