Three issues with respect to user-friendly about vimteractive HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi @zhf-0. Thanks for the positive feedback. I certainly make a lot of use of this plugin in my day-to-day research.

I use python 3.6, not python 2.7, so I don't install ipython2.7, but the plugin try to open ipython2.7 by default. Actually this is not a problem, I can avoid this by modify the source code easily. The issue is when you type Iipython and you don't install ipython2.7, the plugin will freeze your whole vim program! You have to kill the progress!

I think PR #18 may fix this issue. Could you confirm that you get more sensible behaviour if you check out that branch

This issue come along with the first one. Since I don't have ipython2.7, I want to open the console by typing terminal ipython3, then send some commands to the console using C-s. But the plugin can't recognize this console and open a new python2.7 console again.

This would be quite a large change, since vimteractive adds a fair amount of additional functionality such as tracking 'vimteractive buffers'. In theory I think what you desire is possible, but it might be worth discussing with other users. Could you open this as a separate issue?

The indent issue. In normal mode, the plugin can't send one line which is inside a function or for loop to the console. The error message is unexpected indent.

I'm a little surprised by this. Could you send a MWE code + commands for what you do to reproduce this behaviour?

• The first issue is still the same. A good gif is better than hunders of words
  

• I will open a separate issue later

• Sometimes you have to debug your codes in the for-loop step by step where indent is a problem in python console
  

In fact, I combined some vim scripts and modified them to create a new "plugin" that satisfied my current needs, which is in my repository vim-interact-terminal. I found out the behavior of indent is quite different between python console and ipython console.

Those gifs are great -- very useful!

This is the expected behaviour. Python is a bit of an odd language with regards to indentation, so in the general framework of vimteractive (which supports all manner of REPL terminals such as bash, maple and clojure), the indentation issue is very much a special case for python. Using Ipython solves all of these issues, so the official vimteractive advice is to use ipython, rather than just pure python interpreter (which is provided only for special cases).

The first issue is still the same.

Are you sure that this code is using the modified branch? Are you able to put in some additional echom statements into autoload/vimteractive.vim in the offending function to see where it's freezing?
