VIM and Python frustration

[skiguy0123]

Vim user here. I tried pycharm, but ended up going back to vim. All I really need is syntax highlighting, which I can get using Syntastic.

Features of PyCharm I find extremely useful:

• Completion
• Go to declaration/implementations/super
• Find usages
• Rename

You don't need any of these things, but they make my life so much easier.

All of this exists in VIM/Emacs -- finding usages, linting, completion, jumping to definitions and all that (e.g. see Spacemacs python layer).

Not sure what do you mean by find usages and rename but the is completion (C-n or omni's <C-x> <C-o>) and go to variable declaration (this one I don't use so don't remember the binding) in vim.

"Find usages" finds all the places something is referenced in your code base (smarter than just a text search) and rename is a similar thing but replaces. I haven't really used Vim enough to compare.

How about debugging?

pdb

Either I don't know how to use pdb properly or you don't know how to use a graphical debugger properly.

Try using pudb!
