**Work in progress. If you'd like to help, please do. There's a lot of work to be done.**

This guide is currently under heavy development. This opinionated guide exists to provide both novice and expert Python developers a best-practice handbook to the installation, configuration, and usage of Python on a daily basis.

Python-mode_ is complex solution in VIM for work with python code.

- Async python code checking (pylint, pyflakes, pep8, mccabe) in any combination;

- Code refactoring and autocompletion with Rope;

- Fastest python folding;

- Nice and powered python syntax;

- Virtual env support;

- Search by python documentation and run python code;

- More other things like auto pep8 error fixes;

- Very customizable and documented as well;

- Have all required libraries in self;

And more stuff.

Introduction

From the `official Python website <http://python.org/about/>`_:

Python is a general-purpose, high-level programming language similar

to Tcl, Perl, Ruby, Scheme, or Java. Some of its main key features

include:

* very clear, readable syntax

Python's philosophy focuses on readability, from code blocks

delineated with significant whitespace to intuitive keywords in

place of inscrutable punctuation

* extensive standard libraries and third party modules for virtually

any task

Python is sometimes described with the words "batteries included"

for its extensive

`standard library <http://docs.python.org/library/>`_, which can

includes modules for regular expressions, file IO, fraction handling,

object serialization, and much more.

Additionally, the

`Python Package Index <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/>`_ is available

for users to submit their packages for widespread use, similar to

Perl's `CPAN <http://www.cpan.org>`_. There is a thriving community

of very powerful Python frameworks and tools like

the `Django <http://www.djangoproject.com>`_ web framework and the

`NumPy <http://numpy.scipy.org>`_ set of math routines.

* integration with other systems

Python can integrate with `Java libraries <http://www.jython.org>`_,

enabling it to be used with the rich Java environment that corporate

programmers are used to. It can also be

`extended by C or C++ modules <http://docs.python.org/extending/>`_

when speed is of the essence.

* ubiquity on computers

Python is available on Windows, \*nix, and Mac. It runs wherever the

Java virtual machine runs, and the reference implementation CPython

can help bring Python to wherever there is a working C compiler.

* friendly community

Python has a vibrant and large :ref:`community <the-community>`

which maintains wikis, conferences, countless repositories,

mailing lists, IRC channels, and so much more. Heck, the Python

community is even helping to write this guide!

About This Guide

Purpose

The Hitchhiker's Guide to Python exists to provide both novice and expert

Python developers a best-practice handbook to the installation, configuration,

and usage of Python on a daily basis.

By the Community

This guide is architected and maintained by `Kenneth Reitz

<https://github.com/kennethreitz>`_ in an open fashion. This is a

community-driven effort that serves one purpose: to serve the community.

For the Community

All contributions to the Guide are welcome, from Pythonistas of all levels.

If you think there's a gap in what the Guide covers, fork the Guide on

GitHub and submit a pull request. Contributions are welcome from everyone,

whether they're an old hand or a first-time Pythonista, and the authors to

the Guide will gladly help if you have any questions about the

appropriateness, completeness, or accuracy of a contribution.

To get started working on The Hitchhiker's Guide, see
