I'm not exactly sure what you are talking about. Do you mean writing
Vim scripts in Python? I googled, Vim-Python and found a presentation
about it.

Or do you mean writing Python with Vim?

There's this blog entry about it.

I enjoy writing python with Vim. The omni-complete works pretty well.

The TagList plug-in is pretty helpful:

Mini-buffer explorer is a good plug-in too:

SnippetsEmu is useful when I remember to trigger it for function defs
and class defs.

I also mapped a key to run the existing buffer through Pyflakes.

map <silent> <F9> :new <Bar> r!c:/Python25/python c:/Python25/scripts/
pyflakes #<CR>

You could use your favorite syntax checker like Pychecker or Pylint
instead of Pyflakes.
