Is there a Vim plugin that does code completion for Django? I'd like to be able to type something like "foobar = models." and hit Tab and see a list of classes like CharField or Foreign key. Alternately, I'd be OK with entering an abbreviation that would bring up the proper code snippet. The Django documentation suggests YouCompleteMe but it appears to only handle Python code, not Django specifically. Also, I haven't been able to get it to work on my Mac laptop. I almost exclusively do editing of Django files on a remote Debian server from my Mac laptop. I know PyCharm provides the ability to edit remote files and it has Vim emulation but it's pretty expensive and I'm not sure how closely the emulator emulates Vim. SublimeText appears to have a "Djaneiro" package that does what I need but it looks like editing remote files is rather difficult with Sublime. Doesn't Vim have better support for Django code completion that's comparable to these two applications? PyCharm's Vim emulation is quite excellent. For me, PyCharm pro is worth the money for the extra Django integration. The community version is also quite good, the only place I really missed the pro version is in the template tags. The code completion works great as long as you mark your project directories as source locations correctly. For editing remote files, you may want to look into using sshfs to mount your project directly locally. It's basically a file share mounted over SSH, so everything is encrypted in transit. http://www.miscdebris.net/blog/2009/06/29/installing-sshfs-on-mac-os-x/ Typically though, I'm editing/running files locally, then pushing them to the server via git. -James -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
