I need to enclose a block of code with a for loop. As this is Python I need to take care of indenting and increment the number of tabs by one. Any easy way to do this in Vim?

vimrc options. Vim as a Python IDE shows a slew of plugins and configuration options for coding with Python in Vim. This repository's folder with Vimrc files has example configurations that are well commented and easy to learn from.
Vindect is a Python script to detect the indent options required for editing a Python program. In Vim, output from the :version command should include "+python". The following options are set based upon usage in the current file, and your preferences: shiftwidth , tabstop , softtabstop , smarttab , expandtab .
Write Your Python Script To write in the vim editor, press i to switch to insert mode. Write the best python script in the world. Press esc to leave the editing mode. Write the command :wq to save and quite the vim editor ( w for write and q for quit ).
While in the editor, select the necessary code fragment and press Ctrl+Alt+I . If you need to adjust indentation settings, in the Settings/Preferences dialog ( Ctrl+Alt+S ), go to Editor | Code Style. On the appropriate language page, on the Tabs and Indents tab, specify the appropriate indents options and click OK.
You can manually adjust indentation with < and >, and == will auto-indent a block of code.
Also, Indenting Python with Vim might be of help for getting some more advanced auto-indentation.
Lastly, ]p is a handy way to insert a yanked block of code, indenting it to the proper level (try yanking your block, moving the cursor to the start of your for loop, then pressing ]p).
