I came across an article a couple of days ago about extending Vim (Vim is Vi based editor) with python. It was really cool to compile a set of python functions and call them inside Python. I found it on <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://programming.reddit.com/">
http://programming.reddit.com/</a> which seems to have nice links to Python articles fairly frequently (reddit itself is a python app written in <a target="_blank" href="http://web.py">web.py</a>).<br><br>This example used BeautifulSoup parsing library.<br><br><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.builderau.com.au/program/python/soa/Extending-Vim-with-Python/0,2000064084,339283181,00.htm">
