Well worth reading, thanks.

Any good URLs for vim's Python support (scripting vim with Python, I
mean)?

Now *there's* an idea, thankyou! :-)

[Except, in a parallel to your world-shaking ;-) editor switch, I'm
currently thinking of ditching pine (for something, like pine, that's
cross-platform, does IMAP well, is free (beer) but also libre, has a
decent disconnected mode, preferably written in a high-level language, and
that doesn't offer remote buffer overflows on its feature list!... except
such a beast doesn't seem to exist).]

I've always thought the way to do this must be to allow both simple
high-level language (elisp, python) ways of doing this for covering the
broad range of languages &c., and some kind of low-level (C, I guess)
plugin standard for wiring up editors to things like the Python parser.
Who wants to reimplement the Python parser, after all?
