Question

What Vim script you recommend for checking Python syntax on the fly ?

Answer 1

A:

Whether or not wavy red lines are displayed is related to the theme you're using, not the syntax checker or language. So long as your syntax file (try http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=790 ) checks for errors, you can show the errors with something like:

:hi Error           guifg=#ff0000 gui=undercurl

the vim (7.3) i am using already has the python.vim inside the syntax folder( I have also downloaded and installed the python3.0.vim) , but still it does not display errors, tried your command again it does not display errors. My point was not whether the line is red , purple, wavy or straight , but wether I can see errors as I type underlined, highlighted or whatever way will attrack my attention. Is there any special command to enable syntax checking ? I am talking python syntax here, not vim syntax.

Ah sorry, I misunderstood. Your best bet is to combine the above highlighting command with something like pyflakes.vim and the pyflakes module. I'm not sure of another way.

Answer 3

+1 A:

I use the PyFlakes vim script, and I'm pretty satisfied with it. Also, if you'd like PEP8 checking, try this script.
