pyflakes-vim
============
A Vim plugin for checking Python code on the fly.
PyFlakes catches common Python errors like mistyping a variable name or
accessing a local before it is bound, and also gives warnings for things like
unused imports.
pyflakes-vim uses the output from PyFlakes to highlight errors in your code.
To locate errors quickly, use quickfix_ commands like :cc.
Make sure to check vim.org_ for the latest updates.

Quick Installation
------------------
1. Make sure your ``.vimrc`` has::
filetype on " enables filetype detection
filetype plugin on " enables filetype specific plugins
2. Download the latest release_.
3. Unzip ``pyflakes.vim`` and the ``pyflakes`` directory into
``~/.vim/ftplugin/python`` (or somewhere similar on your
`runtime path`_ that will be sourced for Python files).

Installation
------------
If you downloaded this from vim.org_, then just drop the contents of the zip
file into ``~/.vim/ftplugin/python``.
Otherwise, if you're running "from source," you'll need PyFlakes on your
PYTHONPATH somewhere. I recommend getting my PyFlakes_ fork, which retains
column number information and has therfore has more specific error locations.
