compiler plugins not loaded

Question

hi there,

i tried to use this python compiler plugin to be able to "compile" a py script and see the errors in qucikfix windows and jump directly to the linenumers.

http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1439

i placed it in /compiler/python.vim

but: the script is not loaded when i open a python file. even :filetype detect doesnt help. (according to :scriptnames)

i also tried to put the stuff into _vimrc. but it is overwritten by some other stuff thats useless. i dont know where it comes from i searched all plugin directories but there is no plugin that does set makeprg and errorformat!

im lost. plz help.

thanks!

Answer 1

Compiler-plugins are never loaded automatically. You'll have to load it explicitly with :compiler python.

Answer 2

you could add this to your filetype.vim file:

autocmd! BufRead,BufNewFile *.py compiler python
