If you want vim to automatically detect the file type, "filetype on"
must be executed _before_ any buffer is loaded, that is, before the
BufNewFile or BufRead events, and certainly before the BufEnter
event. Executing "filetype on" is like arming the file detection
mechanism, but the code above arms the detection _after_ the
triggering events have occurred.
So first of all, the "filetype on" line should be in the main body
of the _vimrc so that it is executed when _vimrc is sourced, not
later when an autocommand is triggered.
Secondly, if you want "syntax on", et al. to be executed when you
enter a buffer containing a Python file, you should either execute
Fpython() in an autocommand and remove all the autocommands from
within Fpython(), or you should execute Fpython() unconditionally
and leave the autocommands within Fpython() as they are. Otherwise,
the settings within Fpython() won't be executed until the second
Python file is loaded and vim's behavior will appear to be
inconsistent.
Your whole approach is really more complicated and error-prone than
it needs to be. I would recommend that you take all the settings
now in Fpython() (except "filetype on"), remove the autocommand
parts, and put them all in a separate file, C:\Program
Files\vim\vim70\after\ftplugin\python.vim. Then change all the
"set" commands to "setlocal", like this:
source "C:/Program Files/vim/vim70/scripts/python.vim"
syntax on
setlocal ai
" les tabs sont des espaces pour Python:
setlocal expandtab
setlocal tabstop=4
setlocal shiftwidth=4
Vim's filetype detection will cause this file to be sourced whenever
you open a Python file. Using "setlocal" will cause those settings
to apply only to the current buffer, that is, only to buffers
containing Python files, rather that to every buffer in the current
vim instance.
Lastly, if you execute "syntax on" like this, you enable syntax
highlighting for every buffer, regardless of file type. If you want
syntax highlighting for only certain file types, I would recommend
putting
syntax manual
in your _vimrc and
setlocal syntax=ON
in the C:\Program Files\vim\vim70\after\ftplugin\ file for each
filetype for which you want highlighting enabled.
