<p>Vim, shorthand for Vi IMproved, is a text editor with numerous configuration

options and wide-ranging extensions that can be used to write Python code.</p>

<h2>Why is Vim a good Python development environment?</h2>

<p>Vim's philosophy is that developers are fastest when they never take their

hands off the keys. Even using the mouse is a detriment to the rate at which

your thoughts can flow into code. </p>

<p>Vim has a language behind its commands. When a beginner is learning the

editor she may feel like it is impossible to understand all the key commands.

However, the commands stack together in a logical way so that over time

the editor becomes predictable.</p>

<h2>General Vim resources</h2>

<ul>

<li>

<p><a href="http://vim-adventures.com/">Vim Adventures</a> is a cute, fun browser-based

game that helps you learn Vim commands by playing through the adventure.</p>

</li>

<li>

<p><a href="http://yannesposito.com/Scratch/en/blog/Learn-Vim-Progressively/">Learn Vim Progressively</a>

is a wonderful tutorial that follows the path I took when learning Vim:

learn just enough to survive with it as your day-to-day editor then begin

adding more advanced commands on top.</p>

</li>

<li>

<p><a href="https://danielmiessler.com/study/vim/">A vim Tutorial and Primer</a> is an

incredibly deep study in how to go from beginner to knowledgeable in Vim.</p>

</li>

<li>

<p><a href="http://haridas.in/vim-as-your-ide.html">Vim as Your IDE</a> discusses how to

set up Vim for greater productivity once you learn the initial Vim language

for using the editor.</p>

</li>

<li>

<p><a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9172802/setting-up-vim-for-python">Setting up Vim for Python</a>

has a well written answer on Stack Overflow for getting started with Vim.</p>

</li>

<li>

<p><a href="http://benmccormick.org/2014/07/02/learning-vim-in-2014-vim-as-language/">Vim as a Language</a>

explains the language syntax and how you can build up over time to master

the editor.</p>

</li>

<li>

<p>In <a href="http://mislav.uniqpath.com/2011/12/vim-revisited/">Vim: revisited</a> the

author explains his on-again off-again relationship with using Vim. He then

shows how he configures and uses the editor so it sticks as his primary

code editting tool.</p>
