A Vim plugin providing two-way integration with IPython kernels over ZeroMQ, letting users send lines or files for execution and get object introspection and completions inside Vim. It supports IPython 0.11 through 3.x and can interoperate with non-Python Jupyter kernels.

Use cases

• send code from vim to ipython
• run python lines in ipython from vim
• get object introspection in vim
• tab completion for python objects in vim
• connect vim to a jupyter kernel
• use vim as an ipython frontend

When to choose

• you edit Python in Vim and want an IPython REPL workflow
• you need kernel-based completions and introspection inside Vim
• you use legacy IPython 0.11-3.x versions

When to avoid

• you use modern Jupyter/ipykernel versions beyond 3.x
• you use Neovim with built-in REPL plugins or slime
• you need an actively maintained plugin
