You can use gf (goto file) in Python source code to open an imported Python file.
Put the following in a script in:
- ~/.vim/after/ftplugin/python.vim (on Unix systems)
- $HOME/vimfiles/after/ftplugin/python.vim (on Windows systems)
python << EOF
import os
import sys
import vim
for p in sys.path:
# Add each directory in sys.path, if it exists.
if os.path.isdir(p):
# Command 'set' needs backslash before each space.
vim.command(r"set path+=%s" % (p.replace(" ", r"\ ")))
EOF
This allows you to use gf or Ctrl-W Ctrl-F to open the file under the cursor. It works pretty well. particularly for imports of the form:
import abc.def.module
But not so well with:
from abc.def import module
