Following my thoughts yesterday, here are some VIM python scripts to add python breakpoint and debugging features to VIM. With this set up the F7 key will set a breakpoint on a line of code, Shift-F7 will remove all breakpoints and Shift-F12 will execute a script in the python debugger. This only runs on windows as far as I know, because it uses the 'start' command to launch the debugger in a seperate process without VIM waiting for it to finish. This allows you to look through the source code (and fix it) while the debugging is still in progress.

Change to the top level directory that contains your python source files, and do find -name '*.py' > cscope.files cscope -b

How can I work on VIM for python code such as cscope for C code?

Tired of debugging Python using print statements? Don't like the cumbersome PDB (Python debugger) console? Prefer using Vim for coding your Python programs? VimPdb is the solution - allows debugging Python in an IDE-fashion, right within the Vim editor.

A terminal/shell buffer script for python enabled [g]vim (+python).  Allows execution of shell commands in a vim buffer. It does not use r! <cmd>.   Some of it's features:       - It retains state because it's interactive.  For example, set an environment variable and it "stays" because the          shell process is the same through the whole session.       - It can run interactive line based programs like ftp/telnet/python/ssh/etc including masked password input (pty supported platform only).       - Since it's a vim buffer you can go into normal mode and move around the buffer, yank, paste, use word completion, etc       - Runs on Linux and Windows, primary development and testing is done on Linux.  Windows has limitations          ( no interactive programs ) due to lack of pty support.        Requirements: To use it you must have a python enabled [g]vim and run on a platform that supports pty ( i.e. Linux ), or pipes ( Windows, Linux, et all ). The pty version has much better formatted output than the pipes version and supports running interactive programs.  Please read vimsh.readme for other installation details.  Tested on vim 6.0 using Slackware and Gentoo Linux, FreeBSD, and Windows XP.   I'd also like to hear from users running other operating systems, i.e. QNX/Solaris/other BSDs. !!!!! WINDOWS USERS !!!!!, there is a zip file available at the above link. The version kept here on vimonline is a tarred, gzipped file ( tar.gz ). If you are going to use Winzip with the .tar.gz file be sure to turn off the "Tar file smart CR/LF handling". It doesn't work well. Please send me bug reports and suggestions if you use it.  I appreciate all the patches I've been getting lately!

The "Tag List" plugin is a source code browser plugin for Vim and provides an overview of the structure of source code files and allows you to efficiently browse through source code files for different programming languages.  You can visit the taglist plugin home page for more information

to auto-indent a piece of code, highlight it in visual mode, and press =. To auto-indent the current line, press ==. Use gq to wrap the highlighted peice of text.

SuperTab: Makes all insert-mode completion done with tab. To use, simply press TAB while in edit mode. minibufexpl: Adds a buffer explorer to the top of Vim's window, simplifies working with buffers. taglist: A source code browser that works with many languages, including C/C++, Java, Python, Perl, PHP, ... vcscommand: SVN/CVS integration.

Nevertheless, spawning a shell in a VIM window is something I desperately sought after since the first day I started working with VIM, and searching on Google reveals that I'm not the only person. Someone even hacked together a Python script so you can start a shell in a window, but it's no terminal emulator, so your possibilities with this "shell" are limited. I wanted to have a real, working shell in VIM, so I wouldn't have to switch around with screen, use half-hearty solutions like splitvt etc.

Python has this > function, BTW. > Thanks in advance.         :%s/.*/\=some_function(submatch(0))/ see         :help sub-replace-special         :help submatch() Note that since the * operator is greedy, .* matches the whole line, therefore the g flag doesn't change anything (there is only one whole line on each line).

Pyclewn is a python program that allows the use of the vim editor as a front end to a debugger. Pyclewn currently supports the gdb debugger.

lternative: if your file has indent 4 and you want an indent of 3 and gg=G is not working as expected, try :set inde=indent(v:lnum)/4*3 then go ahead with the well known gg=G use tabs or spaces, doesn't matter
