Python-Vim-IDE

This is my vim config for hacking on Python. I hope you like it. I use default vim and SublimeText2 a lot as well.

Installation

Back up your ~/.vimrc and ~/.vim directory (or in you $VIMRUNTIME if not in home dir). Checkout this project somewhere. Symlink the .vimrc and .vim directory into your home directory (or $VIMRUNTIME).

Details

• Syntax highlighting

  • (http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=790) in .vim/syntax/python.vim

• Tab completion (http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1643)

  • Tab after a non-whitespace character (except those below) does keyword completion <c-p>

  • Tab after / does filename completion <c-x><c-f>

  • Tab after . does omnicompletion (http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1542)

    • <leader>q (insert or command mode) will close the preview port. (:pc)
    • <S-Tab> (shift+tab) will do regular keyword completion after . instead of omnicompletion.
    • Enter a virtualenv, your python path should be respected (http://sontek.net/blog/detail/turning-vim-into-a-modern-python-ide#virtualenv)

• Flake8

  • https://github.com/alfredodeza/khuno.vim

    • You will need to install flake8 with pep8 and pyflakes globally to get this.
    • this plugin rocks.
    • hit <F7> or fn+F7 as a shortcut to Khuno show.

• Folding

  • Just using indentation folds from the default .vimrc (I don't use folding):

    :help fold
    
    zM to fold everything
    zR to unfold everything
    za to toggle the current fold
    zA to recursively toggle the current fold
    
    Everything is unfolded to start.
    

• Django settings:

  Before launching vim (or mvim) just set the environment variable:

  export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE="myproject.settings"
  

TODO:

Probably should look at this pathogen thing and Command+T or somesuch.
