pyvim

An implementation of Vim in Python

Motivation

The original pyvim seems to have been written to prove the usefulness of the python-prompt-toolkit .

I am trying to modify it to a more vi/vim like editor. It is intended to be one of the vi clones that can be used on a daily basis.

Installation

Execute bellow pip command in the python virtual environment of your project.

pip install git+https://github.com/nakagami/pyvim

And you can execute pyvim command.

Configuring pyvim

It is possible to create a .pyvimrc file for a custom configuration. Have a look at this example: pyvimrc
