In addition: in debian, you have a package vim-python, although you might want
to get vim6, with folds and special support for python indenting style (put
this in your vimrc):

augroup Python
    au!
    au BufNewFile *.py 0read ~/.templates/python.py
    " see also :help smartindent , cinwords
    au FileType python set autoindent smartindent sts=4 sw=4 tw=80 fo=croq

    " turn off the C preprocessor indenting
    " (allow comments in Python to be indented properly)
    au FileType python inoremap # X^H#
    au FileType python set foldenable
augroup END
