vim-python-pep8-indent

This small script modifies vim’s indentation behavior to comply with PEP8 and my aesthetic preferences: :

foobar(foo,
       bar)

and :

foobar(
   foo,
   bar
)

It was not originally written by me. I have found the script in vim’s script repo, however the indentation was off by one character in the first case.

I fixed it with the help of Steve Losh and am putting it out here so you don’t have to patch the original. The original patch is still available here.

While my Vimscript skills are still feeble, I intend to maintain it for now. So feel free to report bugs, I’ll try to address them as good as possible if they fit into the scope of this project.

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to reach any of the original authors/maintainers: David Bustos and Eric Mc Sween. I’d like to thank them here for their work and release it hereby to the Public Domain. If anyone – who has a say in this – objects, please let me know.

Installation

The easiest way is to use pathogen and do a :

git clone https://github.com/hynek/vim-python-pep8-indent.git

in your ~/.vim/bundle. And you should use pathogen. Really.
