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
