It doesn't support shell scripts which kind of sucks, but could be reasonable if it is expected to run on windows as well as posix. This is the scripts section from one project I used Poetry in. It seems to be fine for most things, even though the focus on managing a python module for publication is a little bit annoying. Once or twice I've run into version resolution troubles, but generally it's stable and much more ergonomic+easier to explain than pip+venv. One can of course use `poetry run pip freeze` to generate the standard `requirements.txt` file [tool.poetry.scripts] # NB: Poetry won't run arbitrary callables, so these are wrapped in a python script. # Poetry needs the root dir to be a package (e.g. module `my_repo` must exist) in order to run scripts # So they are just shoved into a dummy "my_repo.py" instead of going

in e.g. "scripts.py" # Adds Git hooks from `git_hooks` path (overwrites existing!) hookup = "my_repo:hookup" # Run formatter+linter, does not modify anything, errors if fail lint = "my_repo:lint" # runs `black` (formatter), modifies stuff format = "my_repo:format" # A list of files which failed linting. Most helpful with flake8 vim integration https://github.com/nvie/vim-flake8 lintyfiles = "my_repo:lintyfiles" # unit tests utest = "my_repo:utest" # unit + integration tests in container citest = "my_repo:citest" cutest = "my_repo:cutest"

A tonne of them, all managed by pathogen. I actually have a chunk of my bashrc that automatically reinfects my vimdir. Below are the ones I can easily grab. I also have a tonne of homebrew over the years, and a love/hate relationship with Jedi, YouCompleteMe and friends. https://github.com/noahfrederick/vim-skeleton vim-skeleton https://github.com/majutsushi/tagbar tagbar https://github.com/tmhedberg/SimpylFold SimpylFold https://github.com/nvie/vim-flake8 vim-flake8 https://github.com/kien/ctrlp.vim.git ctrlp.vim https://github.com/hashivim/vim-terraform.git vim-terraform https://github.com/hashivim/vim-packer.git vim-packer https://github.com/hashivim/vim-vagrant.git vim-vagrant git://github.com/rodjek/vim-puppet.git vim-puppet https://github.com/fatih/vim-go.git vim-go git://github.com/chase/vim-ansible-yaml.git https://github.com/vim

In Python in Visual Studio Code
Mostly through plugins really. Jedi is really awesome for autocomplete: https://github.com/davidhalter/jedi-vim This plugin really helps in formatting code: https://github.com/hynek/vim-python-pep8-indent There's another plugin that helps with PEP8 linting: https://github.com/nvie/vim-flake8 I just use a combination of print statements and pdb for debugging, I don't trust automatic re-factoring for Python though, so I tend to do them manually with regex. What really helps vim beat PyCharm/IntelliJ for me is the fact that I work with a lot of C code as well as Python. IntelliJ's C support sadly isn't quite there yet.
