Re: [Tutor] vi and python
Danyelle Gragsone [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote Sorry for the misunderstanding. Since vim points to vi automatically I have gotten used to calling it vi. But I did mean vim. Just to be picky, vi points to vim. vim is the program vi is an alias. So if you type vi it executes vim. But different *nix versions use different editors for vi. Some use elvis, some even use the original vi! If you ask about vi you will typically get a response that covers the common subset that is the original. But that only supports (in a very limited way) C and Lisp programming features. vim has several levels of support for Python. It has syntax highlighting for python but it can also be found with Python built in as the scripting language so you can write vim macros using Python.

Re: [Tutor] vi and python
Hi Bhaaluu and LadyNikon, I'm not exactly sure what you mean by Python support, but since I do most of my coding in plain text editors anyway I have had no trouble using vi/vim to edit/code. It's extremely useful for when my laptop is on battery mode - I have a terminal profile setup to be mostly dark and fullscreen to conserve power. Best of luck! Dave M.

Re: [Tutor] vi and python
Hello, I go back and forth between SPE and VIM for Python myself. As for Python support in VIM, you can use most editions of VIM as a plain text editor, and it is fine for Python. But, if you install vim-python (http://ddtp.debian.net/ddt.cgi?desc_id=20183), you get some nice added features such as syntax highlighting, code completion, etc. Sort of like a basic IDE all in VIM! Not sure how you have vim installed. On Ubuntu for example, I just do sudo apt-get install vim-full, and I get all the variants, including vim-python. Other handy things: * pydiction: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=850 * python.vim: http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=30 Best of luck! -Sam __ - Original Message From: Danyelle Gragsone [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: python lista [EMAIL PROTECTED]; tutor@python.org Sent: Friday, September 14, 2007 8:35:21 PM Subject: [Tutor] vi and python Good Evening, I am running gentoo.
