Thank you Sean for the above link, and to everyone else who replied.  There
is obviously a lot that can be done with vim, but I will take your advice
and build up these skills gradually and try to concentrate on learning
python!

I've learned that:

- gvim may suit me better than vim
- a tabbed console is not as good as having a separate window for vim, the
python interpreter and the shell. (thank you Alan)
- re-configuring the Caps Lock to be an extra Esc saves time
- I must learn how to  'fold' functions
