Almost three years ago Mark Mahnic sent a patch to access the screen
from inside Python. It was sent on 2010 July 19.
These are the docs:
6. Screen object *python-screen*
The screen object provides direct access to the Vim internal screen. The
object has the following methods:
puts(row, col, attr, str, length=-1)
Write the string str at the absolute vim screen coordinate
(row, col) using the attribute attr. The optional length
parameter can be used to write only a part of the string.
The string str must be encoded so that it matches the
vim 'encoding' setting.
getHighlightAttr(syntaxName)
Get the value of the syntax element syntaxName. The value can be
used in subsequent calls to puts.
The string syntaxName must be encoded so that it matches the
vim 'encoding' setting.
Does this fit in with the Python RFC? I haven't heard requests from
users for this functionality. Also, it appears that after using this it
requires Vim to redraw the screen, since it is unaware of what has been
drawn.
