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.

I want to use vi to program in python. I wondered are there any other gentooovians out there who know if python support is already installed.
