RE: Python Script Execution Support in ViM

I am making the distinction between using :w and not.  Rarely would you
not want to save, but I can understand that there would be situations
otherwise.

To pass the current buffer (which must have a valid filename) to the 
Python interpreter and run it as a Python script:

        :w
        :pyfile %

or
        :map    <F5>    w<Bar>pyfile %

If ":pyfile %" doesn't work (I think it will), then use

        :exec "pyfile" expand("%")

instead.
