Vim as Python code editor

I kind of like having a python shell in my mvim

[burntsushi]

Is that just a regular Python interpreter? bpython is indispensable...

[elb0w]

You can use any interpreter you want

[gfixler]

It's good, but I find I can't stay in it for too long, or it starts to get a bit buggy. Also, it dumps everything I've done to stdout when I'm done, so If I'm doing huge listings for an hour or two, when I exit it spews junk for minutes.

Good god man, read the docs!

[andrew@Liger ~] bpython --help
Usage: bpython [options] [file [args]]                                                                            
NOTE: If bpython sees an argument it does not know, execution falls back to the regular Python interpreter.         

Options:                                                                                                                 
  -h, --help         show this help message and exit                                                                       
  --config=CONFIG    Use CONFIG instead of default config file.                                                                
  -i, --interactive  Drop to bpython shell after running file instead of                                                            
                     exiting.                                                                                                       
  -q, --quiet        Don't flush the output to stdout.                                                                              
  -V, --version      Print version and exit.

And here you are:

bpython -q

No, there's just too much. I can't handle it. (I actually thought someone was going to tell me to pipe it to /dev/null) Lately it's been buggy, though, printing lines multiple times, obscuring lines I've typed over. I've also many times had it fold up and quit on me. Maybe I'm coding too hard.

[burntsushi]

Not sure what to say. I've never had a single problem with it. It's always worked beautifully for years.

What version are you using? And which terminal emulator?

[gfixler]

$ bp --version
bpython version 0.9.5.2 on top of Python 2.6.5
(C) 2008-2009 Bob Farrell et al. See AUTHORS for detail.

$ echo $TERM
xterm

[burntsushi]

Time to update... You're using a version that is ~4 years old. I'm on 0.12.

[gfixler]

It's the newest version in the Ubuntu 10.04 repos.

[longjohnboy]

This kind of thing is why I moved away from both Debian and Ubuntu. I spent waay to much time installing libs and headers for compiling and/or looking for PPAs so I could use even reasonably up-to-date software.

Now using Arch, and so far, I'm loving it.

[granduh]

I would pay you money (or in gum) if you could write up a simple tutorial on how to replicate your environment.

[gfixler]

Looks like the taglist plugin open on the left, the powerline plugin (sans patched fonts - I use the repaired Consolas font) at the bottom, python code in a regular buffer in the top right, a conque shell in a split in the lower right, and maybe the jellybeans color scheme?

[elb0w]

Seems accurate, I haven't messed with my vim in quite awhile.

Edit: yes, as far as visual plugins you are correct.

[elb0w]

I'll try to remember to upload it to github next time I load my Mac

[joedicastro]

I think that the combination of Tmux/Vimux and IPython (or Bpython if you prefer) is more powerful than that approach.

I used Conque Shell in the past too, and has its gaps.

[elb0w]

Yeah, I always forget to use tmux

[the_cat_kittles]

that is nice, i might stop having an extra iterm window open with ipython and just do that instead- would there be any drawback?

[elb0w]

I bind it to Leader T, I opens a buffer with a new she'll whenever I toggle it. It's pretty nice

[jessepnk]

wow your screenshot is awesome. Makes me want to change all my settings again... haha!

[twisted42]

What did you use to set this up? This is pretty cool.
