Library aims to emulate the current python-vim interface through Neovim msgpack-rpc API

pip install neovim

Start Neovim with a known address or query the value of $NEOVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS after startup:

$ NEOVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS=/tmp/neovim nvim

Open the python REPL with another terminal connect to Neovim:

>>> import neovim
>>> vim = neovim.connect('/tmp/neovim')
>>> buffer = vim.buffers[0] # get the first buffer
>>> buffer[0] = 'replace first line'
>>> buffer[:] = ['replace whole buffer']
>>> vim.command('vsplit')
>>> vim.windows[1].width = 10
>>> vim.vars['global_var'] = [1, 2, 3]
>>> vim.eval('g:global_var')
[1, 2, 3]
