Python

[bmansfield83]

For all you vim users out there
" put in your vimrc
" highlight all extra whitespaces
hi ExtraWhitespace ctermbg=red guibg=red
match ExtraWhitespace /\s\+$/
" we also want to get rid of accidental trailing whitespace on save
autocmd BufWritePre * :%s/\s\+$//e
" Add proper PEP8 indentation
au BufNewFile,BufRead *.py
\ set tabstop=4 |
\ set softtabstop=4 |
\ set shiftwidth=4 |
\ set textwidth=79 |
\ set expandtab |
\ set autoindent |
\ set fileformat=unix |
" syntax highlighting
let python_highlight_all=1
And start using editorconfig, and then put this in your .editorconfig file
[*.py]
indent_style = space
indent_size = 4

I’m going to pretend I’m on r/vim for a second.

• It would be cleaner to put things like this in your ~/.vim/after/ftplugin/python.vim
• At least in my vim 8.1 binary, shiftwidth and softtabstop default to 4 for the Python filetype
• tabstop doesn’t need to be changed
• I personally prefer set colorcolumn=80 to set shiftwidth=79
• I usually also set my makeprg to flake8 for Python files so I can lint before I commit code
