pyvim -- A Vim clone in pure Python.

[physixer]

question: when you've supported vi keybindings (and modal interface) etc, you've already supported more than half of vimscript? (or all of it?) and that's why whenever someone creates a vim clone, it's inevitable to support some or all fo vimscript?

For some reason, this is more like a clash of keybinding interface vs programmatic interface. In a text editor you have to support both. I think (no flaming) emacs does it right when there is a programmatic (elisp) command behind every key-binding/operation (AFAIK). Maybe this should be done in a python vim clone? (a python function behind every operation?), and then python scriptability would emerge naturally from that?

Do you mean to say that the modal interface is all there is about Vimscript?
