Since VIM seems to be the editor of choice and I have been programming in Python for many years using Pyscripter and Eclipse I was wondering how I could transition away from the IDE world to VIM. My main issue is how do I go about using VIM to debug my code? With Pyscripter and other IDES its as simple as placing a breakpoint and pressing F7 to step thru the code and you have the ability to see the variable values etc. Also, with an IDE such as Pyscripter when calling a function a nice balloon hint appears showing you the number of parameters and their types. Coming from a Visual Studio background this is great, as I might be calling a function or method and I don't know off hand the values. Maybe someone could share how they go about programming a good size program with VIM as I would like to use it. Don't get me wrong for quick programs I will use VIM or notepad, but when it comes to building a OOP program I find Eclipse or Pyscripter much easier to use. <br>

I downloaded the previous version of PyScripter although couldn't get<br>
it to work and after googling it, I downloaded Python Portable 1.1<br>
(Python 2.6.1 as most sites/books recommend this and not 3) which has<br>
PySCripter included and this then works fine.Ii also downloaded Komod0<br>
5.1 and after messing around with these, I think I prefer PyScripter<br>
and will use that for the mean time.<br>
<br>
I'll also take a look at VIM as being able to use the same program for<br>
PHP/CSS/HTML (and Basic if it supports it) as well as hopefully Python<br>
(I've only just started learning it) would be an advantage.<br>
<br>
Thanks guys<br>
