Python Interpreter Shell with Vi(m) integration possible?

Question

I love to use bpython but in Ruby there is a gem called interactive_editor that makes it possible to combine Vi(m) with the Ruby shell which makes the Development process much m

Answer 1

I couldn't get vim-ipython to work, so I made this .vimrc solution that works with ConqueShell:

imap  m Vyp
nmap  m Vyp
vmap  m yp
imap  n ']0j
nmap  n ']0j

From a new Vim screen and ConqueShell installed, type :ConqueTermSplit python. Now return to the original window (the shortcut is ) and type in some Python code.

To send the line under to cursor to the interpreter, press m. I have the leader mapped to comma, so that's a pretty simple motion. To send a block of code, highlight some lines in visual mode and do m. It works the same way.

To return to your script, n goes to the line immediately following what you just executed. As a side benefit, you can also use this command to move from window to window quickly.

EDIT (2-20-2015): If you're using ipython as the interpreter, you need to run %autoindent to turn off auto-indenting to preserve formatting for some code blocks. Cheers!
