Python-mode is a vim plugin that allows you to use the pylint, rope, pydoc, pyflakes, pep8, mccabe libraries in vim to provide features like python code looking for bugs, refactoring and some other useful things.
This plugin allow you create python code in vim very easily. There is no need to install the pylint, rope or any used python library on your system.
- Python objects and motion (]], 3[[, ]]M, vaC, viM, daC, ciM, ...)
- Folding of python code
- Virtualenv support
- Highlight syntax errors
- Highlight and auto fix unused imports
- Many linters (pylint, pyflakes, ...) that can be run simultaneously
- Strong code completion
- Code refactoring
- Python documentation
- Run python code
- Go to definition
- Powerful customization
- And more, more ...
See (very old) screencast here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67OZNp9Z0CQ (sorry for quality, this is my first screencast) Another old presentation here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhqsjUUHj6g
- VIM >= 7.0 with python support (also
--with-features=big
if you want use g:pymode_lint_signs)
Using pathogen (recomended)
% cd ~/.vim
% mkdir -p bundle && cd bundle
% git clone git://github.com/klen/python-mode.git
Enable pathogen in your
~/.vimrc
: :" Pathogen load filetype off call pathogen#infect() call pathogen#helptags() filetype plugin indent on syntax on
% git clone git://github.com/klen/python-mode.git
% cd python-mode
% cp -R * ~/.vim
Then rebuild helptags in vim:
:helptags ~/.vim/doc/
Note
filetype-plugin (:help filetype-plugin-on
) and filetype-indent (:help filetype-indent-on
) must be enabled for use python-mode.
If your python-mode dont work, open any python file and type command: :
:call pymode#troubleshooting#Test()
And fix warnings or copy output and send it to me (ex. with github issue).
Note
Also you can see vim help. :help PythonModeOptions

Note
See also :help ropevim.txt
To work rope creates a service directory: .ropeproject
. If g:pymode_rope_guess_project
set (by default) and .ropeproject
in current dir not found, rope scan .ropeproject
on every dir in parent path. If rope finded .ropeproject
in parent dirs, rope set project for all child dir and scan may be slow for many dirs and files.
Solutions:
- Disable
g:pymode_rope_guess_project
to make rope always create.ropeproject
in current dir. - Delete
.ropeproject
from dip parent dir to make rope create.ropeproject
in current dir. - Press
<C-x>po
or:RopeOpenProject
to make force rope create.ropeproject
in current dir.
In some projects pylint may check slowly, because it also scan imported modules if posible. Try use pyflakes, see :h 'pymode_lint_checker'
.
Note
You may set exrc
and set secure
in your vimrc
for auto set custom settings from .vimrc
from your projects directories. Example: On Flask projects I automaticly set g:pymode_lint_checker = "pyflakes"
, on django g:pymode_lint_cheker = "pylint"
See: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/vim_dev/2NXKF6kDONo
The sequence of commands that fixed this: :
brew unlink python
brew unlink macvim
brew remove macvim
brew install -v --force macvim
brew link macvim
brew link python
