I recently did a post to my programming blog discussing my 30 day experience with TextMate (<a href="http://sayspy.blogspot.com/2006/11/my-month-with-textmate.html" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">

</a>) where I said I liked the app but there just was not quite enough
to tear me away from Vim at the moment (but who knows since I just
started using Vim again and I am already missing the pretty GUI of
TextMate&nbsp; =).<br>
<br>I had some personal gripes about the Python bundle in the post and
Jacob Rus suggested that I email the list with those issues so that
they could possibly be addressed by someone with bundle commit
privileges.<br><br>
I think the biggest universal issue I have is the lack of docsting
support in the various snippets.&nbsp; Both the function and method snippets
leave out docstring tab stops which is really unfortunate as Python
best practices practically dictate a docstring for *every* function or
method (see <a href="http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/</a>
for the official style guide for Python).&nbsp; The class definition does
have a docstring, but following docstring conventions from PEP 257 (
<a href="http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0257/" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0257/</a>)
which is referenced by PEP 8 there should be a blank line between the
class definition line and the docstring for the class but that would
mess up the code folding so I can look past that.
<br><br>But that leads to the problem of code folding not working with
Python when there any blank lines within a block.&nbsp; Jacob said that this
should be addressed in TM 2 by making it easier to define
whitespace-delimited grammars which is great to hear.
<br><br>The last big issue is the assumption that files containing
unit tests end in 'Test.py'.&nbsp; In Python's unit test suite all files use
the *prefix* of 'test_' to signify something is a test.&nbsp;&nbsp; This has the
nice perk of not requiring all test files to end in '.py' since you can
directly execute files with other extensions.
<br><br>Anyway those were my biggest issues.&nbsp; I know most of these are
minimal since editing them directly myself is simple enough, but it
would be nice if they were part of the default bundle so I can get any
other improvements made to the svn repository for those things instead
of having them ignored because I have a local edit.
<br><br>Keep up the good work.&nbsp; As I said, I think TextMate is a good app, just not exactly for me (at the moment).<br><br>-Brett
