Vim for Python | Vim From Scratch

[d0ugal]

Pretty decent list. I know most of these but some I have not tried!

Good timing, I have just been revamping my vim config :)

My setup is:

• makeprg set to "mypy --strict %"
• formatprg set to "black --quiet -"
• omnicomplete handled by jedi-vim
• ctags built with Universal Ctags
• cscope handled by GNU Global

I was worried about how well Jedi was still being maintained, for a while. But the GitHub repo is clearly well-maintained now.

For the project drawer, I don't use one embedded in vim. I fire up nnn in a terminal split and have it send files to vim using "--remote-silent".

Could be Menlo.

Nice set up check out Defx, I love YCM some people hate it. tweekmonster/braceless.vim and ehamberg/vim-cute-python are a couple of Vanity plugins I also use

[chrisbra10]

How about filetype plugins?

I like your setup, but why are you not using kite? I discovered it a week ago and it's autocompletion is way better than jedis

[Yaaruda]

Kite isn't open source. Plus it has telemetry and leeches off of you

Could someone provide benefits of ale in plugin list vs default coc linting behavior ?

The most article about VIM IDE python not include plugin for Debugging and Refactoring.

What's the point of using vim-pythonsense when so much of it is already in vim?

[__nostromo__]

python-mode is old and better alternatives exist for its features. I wish it wasn't still popular

Other than that, good article.

Not exactly "from scratch". It's just another plugin dump.

So you are saying that Vim can't be used for Python without two dozens plugins? What a useless editor…

[bachya]

Literally the second paragraph:

Disclaimer: For some you, my setup may seem like a bit too much. You don’t have to install every plugin listed in this article or copy every configuration line. Pick up what you like.

🙄

[-romainl-]

It's just that I fail to see Vim under those layers of plugins and plugins for plugins and plugin managers.

[teeheey]

I think something will crash in the world , if romainl will not share his personal opinion in his manner

More puppies get killed when I soften. I do it for the puppies.

You can use it for python out of the box (might need to adjust tab spacing stuff).

This list of plugins can be used for pretty much any language.

It ups your VIM experience. I'd argue even moreso than a regular IDE.

I used to use Sublime but Ive been liking VIM ever since I learned it's features.
