[IPython-dev] vim-ipython integration's back

[Paul Ivanov]

Hey IPython devs,

I've updated ipy.vim, so you can send lines or whole files for IPython
to execute, and also get back object introspection and word
completions in Vim, like what you get with: object?<enter> and
object.<tab> in IPython.

The big change for ipy.vim is that it no longer requires
the brittle ipy_vimserver.py instantiation, and since it uses
just vim and python, it is platform independent (i.e. should work
even on windows, unlike the previous *nix only solution).

I made a pull request to IPython and just wanted to share here,
for those following the list but not getting pull-request
notification:
https://github.com/ipython/ipython/pull/631

Here's a 3 minute demo of this goodness in action:

If anyone wants to help improve this guy, I started a standalone
plugin repo here:
http://github.com/ivanov/vim-ipython

big thanks to Min for guiding me through the new IPython
internals at the SciPy2011 sprints (though the bulk of the work
since then has been in wrestling with vim).

best,
--
