Question

I started learning vim a couple of days ago and surprisingly it felt quite natural to me, I also want to get back to learning python. I thought, why not combine the two?
So now I’m looking how to set up a proper python development environment, all my searches turned up either guides for other OSes (which I just couldn’t “translate” to windows without feeling like I missed something) and some feel like they are made for previous versions of vim (they assume it has no python support at all…)
So how do you set up vim for python development? I see it already has syntax highlighting, how do I set up compiling? how do I set up debugging (if it’s even needed, I read somewhere that it’s not really that needed in python)? how do I setup error highlighting? or anything else I might need? I saw some guides setting up a “go to source” link, is that needed in the new version?

Good choice on VIM!

Have a look here though:
