You mean the Python Core Dev maintaining a set of Vim files as a fork from the vim.org maintained files and adding new features when they come up and be submitted the vim.org. If that is the idea, it is indeed a good one. But often it has happened that someone at the vim.org has noticed the changes in Python and updated the files and the scripts at vim.org remain updated. > I suspect that not many people beyond core devs use the Misc/Vim > file while more people in the community use the vim.org files. Possibly and perhaps that is reason to discard our Misc/Vim in favor of vim.org files. But if you think there *should* be an official recommendation, some pointers would definitely serve. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9893> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
