Hi, I noticed that the indent level is not consistent amongst all python files. Vim does have plugin for indent detection, but this plugin is not aware of python, and it was not working properly for me:
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1171 In the case that you are interested, I updated it so that it works correctly (so far :)). I contacted original author with the hope that he will update official release, but in the meantime I'm attaching the updated plugin. I guess that you know how to use vim plugins, if not I'll elaborate a bit more :) Happy vimming -- Vlad -------------- next part -------------- " Name: detectindent (global plugin) " Version: 1.1 " Authors: Ciaran McCreesh <ciaranm at gentoo.org> " Vladimir Marek <vladimir dot marek at sun.com> " Updates: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1171 " Purpose: Detect file indent settings " " License: You may redistribute this plugin under the same terms as Vim " itself.
