vim settings for python










6














I have the following settings file:



# ~/.vimrc
set tabstop=4
set shiftwidth=4
set smarttab
set expandtab
set softtabstop=4
set autoindent


How would I make these settings apply to python only? Also, how would I add python coloring (such as textmate does for each language) ?

            I don't think you need all the separators |, you can do it all in one set with set tabstop=4 softtabstop=4 shifwitdth=4 expandtab...
