I too use vim for a variety of editing tasks. From xml, python to normal
text editing, not  a power user yet.
Do you have any tips/tricks to share for python on vim. Your vimrc file
or any plugins you use.

How would you run the python script from vim?
- !python %
OR any other way? I dislike the command line window popup to execute the
scripts. (and press Enter key twice).
I kindda wish, that <Hot-Key> for !python % should :split the window and
display the results for non-interactive run.
If interactive session, the cmd.exe could stay open..

What the settings of ppl using vim for python?

Here's what I'm doing. Not sure if it's that helpful to you.

I use the mini-buffer explorer plug-in and the taglist plugin.

set smartindent

" shuts off the annoying "#" comment in smartindent to jump to col 1
inoremap # X<c-h>#

autocmd BufRead *.py set smartindent cinwords=if,elif,else,for,while,try,except,finally,def,class

I've mapped a key to run pyflakes and display the results in a different buffer

:new | r!pyflakes #
