Your instinct is correct. If vim is already installed you should
already have syntax, indent etc folders SOMEWHERE. On my xp
installation there are python.vim files in

vim/vim70/indent
vim/vim70/syntax
vim/vim70/ftplugin

They tell vim how to colorize, indent and treat python files.

Can you use locate from the shell to try and find all files named
python.vim?

they must be somewhere

rd


I'm still at a loss. Just to see if I already had the syntax file, I did :syntax enable but that didn't do anything, then I created the ~/.vim/syntax folder and put the file in it, but that did nothing.

I did whereis python.vim, but that returned the paths for python itself, not the file called python.vim
.
