  • vim-jumpsuite

    Jump to "interesting" line of code from your test suite.

    Plug: one of the most valuable plugin for me are the vim plugin that I wrote myself: lieryan/vim-jumpsuite. It's a plugin to quickly jump to "interesting" line of code from your test suite by converting unittest reports to a Quickfix jumplist. The plugin uses some customizable heuristics to find the lines from tracebacks that are most likely to be most useful to your code.

  • vim-test

    Run your tests at the speed of thought

    vim-jumpsuite works best when combined when used in conjunction with test runner plugin such as vim-test.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • Python-mode

    Vim python-mode. PyLint, Rope, Pydoc, breakpoints from box.

    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.

  • vim-textobj-python

    Text objects for Python.

    Also, for general text editing in vim, you want to have useful text objects that understands the language that you're working on. For python, I found these the most useful from my collection: bps/vim-textobj-python (function/class text objects), pianohacker/vim-textobj-indented-paragraph (indentation text objects).

  • vim-slime

    A vim plugin to give you some slime. (Emacs)

    Finally, Python is a dynamic language, so you need dynamic tooling! Static analysis are limited, so you need a tool that can help you do dynamic introspection of running code. For this, I recommend jpalardy/vim-slime with IPython.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
