  • NVIM: More complete autocomplete

    As for the Vim auto complete plug-in to use. The biggest (and rather quite bloated provider) are coc and youcompleteme. Vim had countless other completion provider plugins over the years, I lost track of which ones are still good to use and which ones should already be superseded by better techs, but one I personally use python-mode, which uses rope and vim-lsp which supports pylsp.

    If you're happy with a plugin, pymode (https://github.com/python-mode/python-mode) is worth a look. Map running to r (or whatever works for you) makes running easy. End result is IDE-like.
  • IDE Similar to PyCharm for Work

    If you want a quick start to building Vim based IDE for Python, I recommend python-mode. It gives you most of the things you're going to need in one plugin, there are often better implementations of some of its features in other more specialised plugins, but if you don't have time to research and learn to integrate a lot of different plugins, it's a great base to start from. Over time as you learn how you prefer to work and found specialised plugins that suits your workflow better, you can disable many of its features and replace them with more specialised plugins.

    I also highly recommend python-mode for Python refactoring using python-rope. It supports variable/function/class renaming, extract method/local variable, variable/method inlining, adding/removing/rearranging parameters from method signature, removing unused and duplicate imports, and many other useful code transformations.
