Python-mode is a Vim plugin that turns Vim into a Python IDE, bundling linting, formatting, code completion, refactoring, documentation lookup, and debugging breakpoints. It now uses Ruff for linting/formatting and Rope for refactoring, maintained as a modular set of submodules.
Use cases
- turn vim into a python ide
- lint and format python code inside vim
- python code completion in vim
- refactor python code with rope in vim
- set python breakpoints in vim
- view python documentation from vim
When to choose
- you live in Vim and want a full Python IDE experience without switching editors
- you want linting, formatting, completion, and refactoring integrated in one plugin
- you prefer Vim-native workflows and keybindings for Python development
When to avoid
- you use Neovim with LSP and prefer a lighter language-server setup
- you need an IDE with a graphical debugger UI
- you still need Python 2 support
