vim and python

[Kevin Dahlhausen]

'Pyf' is attempting to source the file using the embedded Python
interpreter in Vim.  I don't know offhand if it contains different import
hooks or if it plays with the PYTHONPATH.   I think of it as more for
scripting Vim with Python that debugging Python code, although in theory
what you're doing should work fine.    The first thing to try is running
that python file from outside of Vim and see what happens.   

There was a short series of articles on Python / Vim here a few weeks
ago.  When google puts the archives back up, you might check for 'Vim and
Python Efficiently'


By the way, I commend your choice of editor and language!  :)
