Vim script to help moving around in larger Python source files. It displays current class, method or function the cursor is placed in in the status line for every python file. It's more clever than Yegappan Lakshmanan's taglist.vim because it takes into account indetation and comments to determine what tag the cursor is placed in and from version 0.80 doesn't need exuberant ctags utility.

Needs Vim built with Python support.

I recommend Vundle, pathogen or Vim Addon Manager. E.g. with Vundle do

:PluginInstall mgedmin/pythonhelper.vim

Manual installation:

• copy plugin/pythonhelper.vim to ~/.vim/plugin/.
• copy pythonx/pythonhelper.py to ~/.vim/pythonx/.

Add %{TagInStatusLine()} to your 'statusline', e.g.

set statusline=%<%f\ %h%m%r\ %1*%{TagInStatusLine()}%*%=%-14.(%l,%c%V%)\ %P

Tagbar looks like a better-maintained alternative that supports not just Python, but other languages as well.
