I am interested in enabling code folding in Vim for Python code. I have noticed multiple ways to do so.
Does anyone have a preferred way to do Python code folding in Vim? I.e,
- Do you have a particular Vim plugin that you use and like?
- Do you use manual folding or do you place markers in comments?
- Any other recommended ways to do code folding for Python in Vim?

Personally I can’t convince myself to litter my code with the markers. I’ve become pretty used to (and efficient) at using indent-folding. Together with my mapping of space bar (see below) to open/close folds and the zR and zM commands, I’m right at home. Perfect for Python!
