.. _vim-vimrc:
Vim statusline
==============
If installed using pip just add
.. code-block:: vim
python from powerline.vim import setup as powerline_setup
python powerline_setup()
python del powerline_setup
(replace ``python`` with ``python3`` if appropriate) to the :file:`vimrc`.
If the repository was just cloned the following line needs to be added to the
:file:`vimrc`:
.. code-block:: vim
set rtp+={repository_root}/powerline/bindings/vim
where ``{repository_root}`` is the absolute path to the Powerline installation
directory (see :ref:`repository root <repository-root>`).
If pathogen is used and Powerline functionality is not needed outside of Vim
then it is possible to simply add Powerline as a bundle and point the path above
to the Powerline bundle directory, e.g.
:file:`~/.vim/bundle/powerline/powerline/bindings/vim`.
Vundle and NeoBundle users may instead use
.. code-block:: vim
Bundle 'powerline/powerline', {'rtp': 'powerline/bindings/vim/'}
(NeoBundle users need ``NeoBundle`` in place of ``Bundle``, otherwise setup is
the same).
Vim-addon-manager setup is even easier because it is not needed to write this
big path or install anything by hand: ``powerline`` can be installed and
activated just like any other plugin using
.. code-block:: vim
call vam#ActivateAddons(['powerline'])
.. warning::
*Never* install powerline with pathogen/VAM/Vundle/NeoBundle *and* with pip.
If powerline functionality is needed in applications other then Vim then
system-wide installation (in case used OS distribution has powerline
package), pip-only or ``pip install --editable`` kind of installation
performed on the repository installed by Vim plugin manager should be used.
No issues are accepted in powerline issue tracker for double pip/non-pip
installations, especially if these issues occur after update.
.. note::
If supplied :file:`powerline.vim` file is used to load powerline there are
additional configuration variables available: ``g:powerline_pycmd`` and
``g:powerline_pyeval``. First sets command used to load powerline: expected
values are ``"py"`` and ``"py3"``. Second sets function used in statusline,
expected values are ``"pyeval"`` and ``"py3eval"``.
If ``g:powerline_pycmd`` is set to the one of the expected values then
``g:powerline_pyeval`` will be set accordingly. If it is set to some other
value then ``g:powerline_pyeval`` must also be set. Powerline will not check
that Vim is compiled with Python support if ``g:powerline_pycmd`` is set to
an unexpected value.
These values are to be used to specify the only Python that is to be loaded
if both versions are present: Vim may disable loading one python version if
other was already loaded. They should also be used if two python versions
are able to load simultaneously, but powerline was installed only for
python-3 version.
Tmux statusline
===============
Add the following lines to :file:`.tmux.conf`, where ``{repository_root}`` is
the absolute path to the Powerline installation directory (see :ref:`repository
root <repository-root>`)::
source "{repository_root}/powerline/bindings/tmux/powerline.conf"
.. note::
The availability of the ``powerline-config`` command is required for
powerline support. DLlocation of this script may be specified via
``$POWERLINE_CONFIG_COMMAND`` environment variable.
.. note::
It is advised to run ``powerline-daemon`` before adding the above line to
tmux.conf. To do so add::
run-shell "powerline-daemon -q"
to :file:`.tmux.conf`.
IPython prompt
==============
For IPython<0.11 add the following lines to :file:`.ipython/ipy_user_conf.py`:
.. code-block:: Python
# top
from powerline.bindings.ipython.pre_0_11 import setup as powerline_setup
# main() function (assuming ipython was launched without configuration to
# create skeleton ipy_user_conf.py file):
powerline_setup()
For IPython>=0.11 add the following line to :file:`ipython_config.py` file in
the used profile:
.. code-block:: Python
c.InteractiveShellApp.extensions = [
'powerline.bindings.ipython.post_0_11'
]
IPython=0.11* is not supported and does not work. IPython<0.10 was not
tested (not installable by pip).
.. _pdb-prompt:
PDB prompt
==========
To use Powerline with PDB prompt you need to use custom class. Inherit your
class from :py:class:`pdb.Pdb` and decorate it with
:py:func:`powerline.bindings.pdb.use_powerline_prompt`:
.. code-block:: Python
import pdb
from powerline.bindings.pdb import use_powerline_prompt
@use_powerline_prompt
class MyPdb(pdb.Pdb):
pass
MyPdb.run('some.code.to.debug()')
. Alternatively you may use
.. code-block:: bash
python -mpowerline.bindings.pdb path/to/script.py
just like you used ``python -m pdb``.
.. note:
If you are using Python-2.6 you need to use ``python
-mpowerline.bindings.pdb.__main__``, not what is shown above.
.. warning:
Using PyPy (not PyPy3) forces ASCII-only prompts. In other cases unicode
characters are allowed, even if you use `pdbpp
<https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pdbpp>`_.
