Colorful Python Syntax in vim?

Question

I was wondering how can I get this colorful syntax highlighting in vim on my Mac. I didn't add any libraries on my ubuntu desktop to get the syntax as shown in the image. Is it possible to get this behavior on Mac as well?

Answer 1

In Mac OSX edit your .vimrc file:

vi ~/.vimrc

and add the following:

filetype plugin indent on
syntax on

Save and close (:x) and try opening your python file again.
