New to Vim and Vim-Python

[Daniel Folkes]

I am new to using Vim's scripts.

I was wondering if anyone uses Vim-Python and how to use it? This
includes things like key bindings and such.

Thanks in advance,

Hello,

I am new to using Vim's scripts.
I was wondering if anyone uses Vim-Python and how to use it? This
includes things like key bindings and such.

are you talking about

* how to use vim?
* http://www.vi-improved.org/tutorial.php
* how to create vim scripts?
* sorry can't help (but vim.sf.net has a couple of scripts you might
want to look at)
* how to use vim to create python scripts?
1. http://www.vi-improved.org/tutorial.php
2. http://docs.python.org/tut/tut.html

Personally I just left vim in favor of emacs - there's just a lot more
available that is ready to use vim emacs than with vim (in my case,
your use case may vary)

I'm not exactly sure what you are talking about. Do you mean writing
Vim scripts in Python? I googled, Vim-Python and found a presentation
about it.

Or do you mean writing Python with Vim?

There's this blog entry about it.

I enjoy writing python with Vim. The omni-complete works pretty well.

The TagList plug-in is pretty helpful:

Mini-buffer explorer is a good plug-in too:

SnippetsEmu is useful when I remember to trigger it for function defs
and class defs.

http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1318

I also mapped a key to run the existing buffer through Pyflakes.

map <silent> <F9> :new <Bar> r!c:/Python25/python c:/Python25/scripts/
pyflakes #<CR>

You could use your favorite syntax checker like Pychecker or Pylint
instead of Pyflakes.
