Has anyone found a good set of python plugins for vim -- specifically module completion?
I'm looking for a suite of plugins that can help me finally switch over to vim full-time.
Right now I'm using Komodo with some good success, but their vim bindings have enough little errors that I'm tired of it.
What I do love in Komodo, though, is the code completion. So, here's what I'm looking for (ordered by importance).
- Code completion, meaning: the ability to code complete modules/functions/etc. in any module that's on the pythonpath, not just system modules. Bonus points for showing docstrings when completing.
- Jump-to a class definition. I'm guessing CTAGS will do this, so how do you all manage automatically updating your tags files?
- Project type management for managing buffers: ideally the ability to grep for a filename in a directory structure to open it. Bonus for showing an index of class definitions while a buffer is open.
- Bzr integration. Not super important, since most of it I can just drop to the shell to do.

Answer 1
Here you can find some info about this.
It covers code completion, having a list of classes and functions in open files. I haven't got around to do a full configuration for vim, since I don't use Python primarily, but I have the same interests in transforming vim in a better Python IDE.
Edit: The original site is down, so found it saved on the web archive.

Old question, but I typed all this up for a misread question...
General plugin recommendations: LookupFile and a plugin for your source control system (I like Git and Git-Vim).
Python plugin recommendations: If you're using Linux, I'd recommend ipython and ipy.py (a better interactive interpreter). Improved syntax highlighting, snippets, pydoc, and for refactoring support bicyclerepairman. I got started with this post.
You may want to try looking through someone's vimfiles. Mine are on github.

For refactoring: ropevim

I use pydoc.vim (I actually wrote it) a lot, try it and tell me what you think. Another one that I think is quite useful is the updated syntax file with all it's extensions that you can enable, which you can find here.

I use Pydiction (http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=850) it's a plugin for vim that lets you Tab-complete python modules/methods/attributes/keywords, including 3rd party stuff like Pygame, wxPython, Twisted, and literally everything. It works more accurately than other things i've tried and it doesn't even require that python support be compiled into your Vim.

Code completion: PySmell looks promising. It's work-in-progress, but alredy useful.

I personally thinkJedi Vim is the best, but it is incompatible with python-mode.

Python tell when an ftp transfer sits on completion
I have to download some files from an FTP server. Seems prosaic enough. However, the way this server behaves is if the file is very large, the connection will just hang when the download ostensibly completes.

Sample python code:
from ftplib import FTP

python - Trick code completion with PyDev like with PDT?
Is there a way to help PyDev code completion by telling it the type of a variable?
With PDT, you can use PHPDoc-like syntax for such purpose:

$my_var = myFunction();
// PDT is able to figure out that $my_var is a MyClass object.
But till now, I cannot figure out how to do the same in python.

python - which inotify event signals the completion of a large file operation?
for large files or slow connections, copying files may take some time.
using pyinotify, i have been watching for the IN_CREATE event code. but this seems to occur at the start of a file transfer. i need to know when a file is completely copied - it aint much use if it's only half there.
when a file transfer is finished and completed, what inotify event is fired?
