[Tutor] IDLE Usage - was Interpreter Restarts

[bhaaluu]

Greetings,

I use an editor called 'vim' on GNU/Linux.
I invoke vim on the command-line by typing: vi
(vi is a link to /usr/bin/vim)
In my home directory I have a vim config file
named .vimrc (that is: dot_vimrc [the dot makes it hidden]).
The .vimrc file has some things in it that do some nice stuff
for editing Python files; such as syntax highlighting, line numbers,
indenting, and also runs Python when I press the F2 function key.
I run vim in an X ternminal called Konsole. I can also run it
from the command-line in any tty.

Okay, here it is. Just copy/paste this into an editor, and save it as:
.vimrc

To use it, just type: vi myCode.py
(If you don't have a link named vi that points to /usr/bin/vim,
you'll have to type vim or /usr/bin/vim to get it going...
since I don't have any idea what you're working at, I can't say.)

Once you're in vim, looking at your code, press F2 to run it.

I understand that Emacs also does Python! =)
But I won't go there... I don't do Emacs.
