This small script modifies vim’s indentation behavior to comply with PEP8 and my aesthetic preferences. Most importantly:
foobar(foo,
bar)
and:
foobar( foo, bar )
Follow the instructions on installing Pathogen and then:
$ cd ~/.vim/bundle
$ git clone https://github.com/hynek/vim-python-pep8-indent.git
Follow the instructions on installing Vundle and add the appropriate plugin line into your .vimrc:
Plugin 'hynek/vim-python-pep8-indent'Follow the instructions on installing NeoBundle and add the appropriate NeoBundle line into your .vimrc:
NeoBundle 'hynek/vim-python-pep8-indent'Please note that Kirill Klenov’s python-mode ships its own version of this bundle. Therefore, if you want to use this version specifically, you’ll have to disable python-mode’s using:
let g:pymode_indent = 0This script is based on one from vim’s official script repo that was not originally written by me. Unfortunately the indentation was off by one character in one case and the script hasn’t been updated since 2005.
Even more unfortunately, I wasn’t able to reach any of the original authors/maintainers: David Bustos and Eric Mc Sween.
So I fixed the annoyance it with the help of Steve Losh and am putting it out here so you don’t have to patch the original yourself. The original patch is still available here.
Over the time a lot more improvements have been contributed by generous people.
I’d like to thank the original authors here for their work and release it hereby to the Public Domain (using the CC0 licence) since I hope that would be in their spirit. If anyone with a say in this objects, please let me know immediately. Also, if someone is in contact with one of them, I would appreciate being introduced.
While my Vimscript skills are still feeble, I intend to maintain it for now. This mainly means that I’ll triage through bugs and pull requests but won’t be fixing much myself.
