Hi all,

i used vim before on debian and when i was editing my python scripts ( i
use vim mainly for python coding ) i've got nice colored syntax and so
on... here in debian i have only black and white.

I tried command :syntax enable or :syntax on but it say " Sorry, the
command is not available in this version: syntax on" but mine version of
vim is 7.0.122 which is not that old i think.

Any idea how to enable this ? or better yet any specialized colored
python editor for console ssh ?

Best regards
Vladimir

Make sure that you have "vim" installed. You get a minimal one by default.

aptitude install vim

Good

It's good to know that you only need "vim-python" if you actually wish to
use vim scripts written in python. To edit python files you'll be fine
with "vim".

I am runing vim/vim-common 1:7.0-219+1 in testing. ISTR that on a
recent upgrade, I to, lost syntax highlighting. Looking in the .vimrc
I found this, which was commented out.
---------
" Vim5 and later versions support syntax highlighting. Uncommenting the next
" 3 lines enables syntax highlighting by default.
if has("syntax") && &t_Co > 2
syntax on
syntax on
au FileType c syntax on
