I have tried Googling but I couldn't find anything relevant.
Is it possible to program in Python on VIM and do something like
:!iPython
to have Python execute the code?
Last time I tried that, it just opened up Python in the terminal.

Save the current buffer with :w, then :!/usr/bin/env python %.

Then that will execute the program or the command in the shell whichever I have written?– dustinMar 27, 2013 at 15:06

It will run the file you are currently editing (presumably a Python program) in Python. Give it a try.– tgiesMar 27, 2013 at 18:15

I just tried it. It executed and then said hit enter to return. So everything went through but python didn't come up and show anything.– dustinMar 27, 2013 at 18:51

now I am receiving invalid syntax errors for something I ran yesterday with no problems. Is there anything that needs to be setup in /.vimrc for this to work?– dustinMar 27, 2013 at 19:17

No. If you are receiving invalid syntax errors, it's probably because you have invalid Python syntax. Nothing about how vim is configured will impact that.– tgiesMar 27, 2013 at 19:25
or even better set aw in your .vimrc, follow by
:pyf %
this will not incur you to bring up shell and hence better.
if you want you can map it and save in your .vimrc following cmd
map <F8> pyf %<CR>
hitting F8 will execute your python file

This is not quite the same as using
/usr/bin/env python-:pyfwill always use/usr/bin/pythonX(depending on python3 vs python2).– muruJan 9, 2016 at 9:11
