vim crash course part 2 for python development

# notes for video

[DanSheffner]

Most of the content in the video is out of date and only applied to python2. Python2 end of life was January 2020. Vim also has its on plugin system now. That being said allot of the concepts still apply to todays development needs. I'm constantly testing new vim configurations on ubuntu 20.04. If anyone wants to work on a new version of something similar to this video let me know and we can start a new github project.

really good upload Dan Sheffner. I smashed that thumbs up on your video. Keep up the excellent work.

it took me one whole day with lots of error to make VIM as python IDE. and your python script did it nicely with only 133 seconds (on my machine). Thanks a lot man. Kudos!

This is the easiest vim setup tutorial that I have found online. Thanks dan. :)

Thanks for the tutorial! I suggest you try using sshfs to mount the remote directory instead of using scp for each individual file. It changed the way I edited remote files. Cheers!

Great job on these tutorials for VIM.. Still checking out the other videos I came just to get more VI/VIM commands and wow ended up knowing more about VI/VIM then I thought I wanted to. :)

Thanks Dan for putting this video, it helped me a lot. I have a question for you, at 19.29 minutes while moving a block of code by arrow keys, do you mean less than and greater than keys (< >). I was hitting arrow keys and it was just moving the cursor on the screen.

Great tips. Especially the remote vim editing. Never knew that one

[refaiabdeen]

Another awesome very educational presentation from you Cheers !!!

Great tutorial, quick question, how do you change the airline theme ?? I cant see what theme is loaded on the .vimrc

[DanSheffner]

Also for some reason sudo apt-get install vim is not compiled with python3 support in it. You can confirm this is the issue on your machine by doing vim --version and see if it says -python3, the minus means it is not compiled in. To fix this do: sudo apt-get remove vim && sudo apt-get install vim-gnome and when you do vim --version you should see +python3 now.

So far my .vimrc is unchanged. Hope this helps anyone coming to this video.

Hi Dan when I type - > vi test.py I have this Error -> "test.py" [New File]

[vivasjimmy]

Hi Don I tried your vimrc, is much better than the one I had, thanks

[SrikantGadicherla]

Hey Dan, first of all thanks for the video.

One thing here, we need to add the following lines to your .vimrc file for PyFlakes (or Syntastic).

set statusline+=%#warningmsg#
set
set statusline+=%*

let = 1
let g:syntastic_auto_loc_list = 1
let g:syntastic_check_on_open = 1
let g:syntastic_check_on_wq = 0

I want to know how to use the vdebug tool for Python or a better debugging plugin.

[tarricoj]

Hey Dan, loved your video but for some reason, I m not sure why, but it went wrong and its not working how its supposed. Is there a way of coming back from the auto installation of your vim.py thing (I got lazy and tried to do it fast)

[elusk]

Hey Dan, do you happen to know of any good tools for debugging C/C++ within vim similar to how you're debugging Python?

Thanks for your time!
