This small script modifies Vim_’s indentation behavior to comply with PEP8_ and my aesthetic preferences.

Most importantly::



   foobar(foo,

          bar)



and::



   foobar(

      foo,

      bar

   )



Installation

------------



Install the plugin using your favorite plugin manager / method, a few examples

follow:



Pathogen

^^^^^^^^



Follow the instructions on installing Pathogen_ and then:



.. code-block:: shell-session



   $ cd ~/.vim/bundle

   $ git clone https://github.com/Vimjas/vim-python-pep8-indent.git



Vundle

^^^^^^



Follow the instructions on installing Vundle_ and add the appropriate plugin line into your ``.vimrc``:



.. code-block:: vim



   Plugin 'Vimjas/vim-python-pep8-indent'



NeoBundle

^^^^^^^^^



Follow the instructions on installing NeoBundle_ and add the appropriate NeoBundle line into your ``.vimrc``:



.. code-block:: vim



   NeoBundle 'Vimjas/vim-python-pep8-indent'



Configuration

-------------



g:python_pep8_indent_multiline_string

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^



You can configure the initial indentation of multiline strings using ``g:python_pep8_indent_multiline_string`` (which can also be set per buffer).

This defaults to ``0``, which means that multiline strings are not indented.

``-1`` and positive values will be used as-is, where ``-1`` is a special value for Vim's ``indentexpr``, and will keep the existing indent (using Vim's ``autoindent`` setting).

``-2`` is meant to be used for strings that are wrapped with ``textwrap.dedent`` etc.  It will add a level of indentation if the multiline string started in the previous line, without any content in it already::



   testdir.makeconftest("""

       _



With content already, it will be aligned to the opening parenthesis::



   testdir.makeconftest("""def pytest_addoption(parser):

                        _



Existing indentation (including ``0``) in multiline strings will be kept, so this setting only applies to the indentation of new/empty lines.



g:python_pep8_indent_hang_closing

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^



Control closing bracket indentation with ``python_pep8_indent_hang_closing``, set globally or per buffer.



By default (set to ``0``), closing brackets line up with the opening line::



   my_list = [

       1, 2, 3,

       4, 5, 6,

   ]

   result = some_function_that_takes_arguments(

       'a', 'b', 'c',

       'd', 'e', 'f',

   )



With ``python_pep8_indent_hang_closing = 1``, closing brackets line up with the items::



   my_list = [

       1, 2, 3,

       4, 5, 6,

       ]

   result = some_function_that_takes_arguments(

       'a', 'b', 'c',

       'd', 'e', 'f',

       )



Troubleshooting

---------------



In case it is not working, please make sure your Vim is configured to load

indent files (``filetype indent on``).

This is typically the case when using a plugin manager, but check its docs.



Check ``:verbose set indentexpr?`` in a Python file, which should show

something like the following:



  indentexpr=GetPythonPEPIndent(v:lnum)

        Last set from ~/…/plugged/vim-python-pep8-indent/indent/python.vim



Notes

-----



Please note that Kirill Klenov’s python-mode_ ships its own version of this bundle.

Therefore, if you want to use this version specifically, you’ll have to disable python-mode’s using:



.. code-block:: vim



   let g:pymode_indent = 0



License and Authorship

----------------------



This script is based on one from Vim’s official `script repo`_  that was *not* originally written by me.

Unfortunately the indentation was off by one character in one case and the script hasn’t been updated since 2005.



Even more unfortunately, I wasn’t able to reach any of the original authors/maintainers:

**David Bustos** and **Eric Mc Sween**.



So I fixed the annoyance with the help of `Steve Losh`_ and am putting it out here so you don’t have to patch the original yourself.

The original patch is still available here_.



Over the time a lot more improvements have been contributed_ by `generous people`_.



I’d like to thank the original authors here for their work and release it hereby to the *Public Domain* (using the CC0_ licence) since I hope that would be in their spirit.

If anyone with a say in this objects, please let me_ know immediately.

Also, if someone is in contact with one of them, I would appreciate being introduced.



While my Vimscript_ skills are still feeble, I intend to maintain it for now.

This mainly means that I’ll triage through bugs and pull requests but won’t be fixing much myself.
