Vim, Python, and Django autocompletion (pysmell?)

First off, thank you for asking this question, as it forced me to figure this out myself and it’s great!

Here is the page I used as a reference: PySmell v0.6 released : orestis.gr

1. Install PySmell using the setup.py install command.
2. Generate the PYSMELLTAGS file for django by going to your site-packages/django directory and running: pysmell . -o ~/PYSMELLTAGS.django
3. Copy that file to your project directory, and then ran pysmell . to generate the project PYSMELLTAGS file
4. Make sure pysmell is in your PYTHONPATH (export PYTHONPATH=${PYTHONPATH}:/path/to/pysmell/)
5. Run vim (vim .)
6. Source pysmell.vim (:source /path/to/pysmell/pysmell.vim)
7. Set the autocomplete command (:set omnifunc=pysmell#Complete)
8. Type ^x^o to autocomplete and it should work

I realize this is not a sustainable solution, but you should be able to use this as a start to getting it setup to always work (e.g., add the export to your .bashrc, add the :source to your .vimrc, setup autocmd FileType python set omnifunc=pysmell#Complete, etc.)

Let me know if this is enough to get you started. It worked for me!

Edit
I simply added this to my .vimrc and as long as the PYSMELLTAGS & PYSMELLTAGS.django files are in my project root, it works fine without any other work:

python << EOF
import os
import sys
import vim
sys.path.append("/usr/local/python/lib/python2.5/site-packages")
EOF
exe ":source ~/src/pysmell/pysmell.vim"
autocmd FileType python set omnifunc=pysmell#Complete
