Learning Python? Use Vim + dotfiles
I've been trying to ramp up on Python and have been fiddling around with a few different IDEs and development environments.
Vim is a classic choice, so to help jumpstart my config, I stumbled upon the dotfiles repository on GitHub. Checking out this repo and running the setup scripts gave me a great setup out of the box:
$ git clone https://github.com/sontek/dotfiles.git
$ cd dotfiles
$ ./install.sh vimTurning VIM Into a Modern Python IDE
See the above reference for a more thorough explaination of each setting.

I have no clue what your 'code' does, what it's for, if it can be useful to me or not.

You'll need to review the link included in the tip.
@vogelar I got that... What I meant is that I would have expected you to digest it and sum the key parts for me. I may read your link, but I won't upvote your protip. In fact, I would downvote it if I could, cuz' a lazy copy-paste with no explanations is not a protip.
@likeyn I rewrote the protip to match up with the protip guidelines: https://coderwall.com/p/o42nvq
I hope it better meets your expectations, but this was originally for my own reference not for upvotes.
@vogelar I guess you could've just ignored me if it was just for your own reference. Anyway, it's much nicer to read now, thanks :) +1 for the effort.
You should really give klen's python-mode a try. It's basically a vim plugin which integrates most other plugins to create a nice python IDE.
