There is actually some incorrect information in there:
Vim already has built in syntax highlighting for python
but I have a small tweak to vim to give you notifications
of small syntax errors like forgetting a colon after a for
loop. Create a file called ~/.vim/syntax/python.vim and
add the following into it:
That will override the system's version of python.vim. Using ~/.vim/after/syntax/python.vim or even something like ~/.vim/after/syntax/python/custom_errors.vim will do the trick.
