I'm a Vim user, too. I usually have three windows open: IPython to try out snippets of code, ViM to edit the target program, and a command shell to execute the module/run the self tests. A while back I asked the ViM mailing list (vim@vim.org) if there was a way to open a shell window from within ViM. Here is the response I got:
** Vim can be compiled with Python support; the output of the ":version" ** command will then show either +python or +python/dyn ** With such a version of Vim, you can execute individual Python commands, ** inline Python documents in Vim scripts, or full-fledged Python scripts. ** Also, Python commands called from Vim may access Vim buffers, windows, ** variables, etc., giving you access to the power of both Vim and Python ** in a single script. Of course, 'T Aint No Such Thing As A Free Lunch: ** such a script is more powerful but less portable, since it can only be ** run on a machine where both Vim and Python are installed. ** See ":help python" for details of how to use the Python interface. I read the suggested help pages, but I haven't had the nerve to try out the interface yet. When I do, I'll post my findings here.
