pyvim

An implementation of Vim in Python

The original pyvim <https://github.com/prompt-toolkit/pyvim> seems to have been written to prove the usefulness of the python-prompt-toolkit <https://github.com/prompt-toolkit/python-prompt-toolkit> .

I am trying to modify it to a more vi/vim like editor.

Installation

Execute bellow pip command in the python virtual environment of your project.

Configuring pyvim

It is possible to create a .pyvimrc file for a custom configuration. Have a look at this example: pyvimrc <https://github.com/nakagami/pyvim/blob/master/examples/config/pyvimrc>_
