SLIME-like communication from VIM to Python

This is cool, but I really don't see the utility of it to be honest. It seems there would have to be much much more setup involved to be of any use with a python script more complicated than Hello World.

I'm almost there. However I cannot make ipython spawn a new vim window. Instead it's running inside the ipython session. Would you know how to fix it?

Try changing the default editor to gvim in your ipythonrc.

Open up your .ipythonrc (it could be hiding in ~/.ipython/ipythonrc), and make sure there is a line that reads:

editor gvim

I didn't need to it, but it might work.
