A few Python-specific things that I have in my .vimrc are as follows:

set autoindent
set ts=2
set shiftwidth=2
set expandtab
set shiftround
set smarttab
filetype plugin on
syntax on
:inoremap ( ()<ESC>i
:inoremap [ []<ESC>i
:inoremap " ""<ESC>i
:inoremap { {}<ESC>i
:inoremap < <><ESC>i
autocmd BufNewFile *.py 0r ~/.vim/skel/skel.py

The python skeleton file looks like this:

#!/usr/bin/python

import 

Finally, my Python filetype file looks like this (just my changes):

:inoremap ' ''<ESC>i
abbr dd #debug
set spell!
" Code Macros

" Define a class in Python, with docstring
inoremap class class :<cr><tab>""""""<up><left>

" Define a function in Python, with docstring
inoremap def def ():<cr><tab>""""""<up><left><left><left>

" This is to create blocks when coding in Python
im :<cr> :<cr><tab>

That's about it.  I'm just a vim novice - there are lots of things I
haven't learned or don't use enough and forget.
