Hi

As I mentioned in another thread I'm collecting and evaluating all
script and tips concerning python programming in vim. I have noticed
that there are many scripts just named python.vim. That is syntax,
indent, compiler etc... I also saw Bram saying he preferred that in the
autoload directory the name was pythoncomplete.vim because the
confusion all these files with the same name lead to.

My question is could one not introduce a naming scheme like:

python_syntax.vim
python_indent.vim
python_compiler.vim

etc...

at least it would reduce the clutter some. Of course I don't mean this
for python only, but generally...

Just a thought

IIUC, this would break compatibility with the present scheme which is syntax/python.vim, indent/python.vim, etc. Lots of scripts and vimrc's would cease to work. It would also (IIUC) introduce _more_ clutter by doing away with separate subdirectories of $VIMRUNTIME and of other 'rtp' directories, moving everything to one big heap instead of separate "drawers" so to speak.

OTOH, if you want to create ~/.vim/after/syntax/python.vim as a symlink to ~/python_syntax.vim, that's your privilege. I doubt if it will reduce the clutter though.


Best regards,
Tony.
