How doesn't it work? It works fine for me. Here's what I did.
I put your autocommand (on one line) in a file in my home directory,
bar.vim.
autocmd FileType python map <buffer> <S-e> :w<CR>:lcd %:h<CR>:!python
"%"<CR>
I started vim in my home directory like this:
$ vim -N -u NONE --cmd 'filetype on' --cmd 'so bar.vim' /tmp/foo.py
Executing
:map E
shows that the mapping is defined:
E @:w<CR>:lcd %:h<CR>:!python "%"<CR>
I put this text into the buffer:
print("hello, world\n")
and typed
E
The text
hello, world
appeared in my terminal as expected.
Regards,
Gary
