Python Development with VIM

Just some notes regarding my quest for developing python using vim:

1. Never use anaconda. Most vim plugins will not support it

2. Use virtualenv instead.

3. Install python-mode.

First, run
$  mkdir -p ~/.vim/autoload ~/.vim/bundle && curl -LSso ~/.vim/autoload/pathogen.vim https://tpo.pe/pathogen.vim

Next, edit ~/.vimrc to have:
execute pathogen#infect()
syntax on
filetype plugin indent on

 
Finally, run
$ cd ~/.vim/bundle && git clone https://github.com/klen/python-mode.git

4. Install ctags.
$ sudo apt-get install ctags

Now I am happy with it for now.
