When running python from vim, how to move through the output window

Question

It is explained in many places, how to run a python script from vim including Running Python code in Vim.

But my output spans across pages and only I can see the last page. I am not able to move to top of the results.

I tried :!clear;python % | more. This will keep the output in more, but once more is exited, things are same. Any ways to move in the result pane?

Also I not able to add the shortcut "map :w:!python %|more".

@PetarP: %pyf is very much similar to ;python % | more. It also does not accept raw_input. Giving an error " count = raw_input('Enter Count -') EOF \n Error: EOF when reading a line " — user2647717

Here is a official vim documents, this first part should handle your error, vim.wikia.com/wiki/Execute_Python_from_within_current_file — copser

I would use :new followed by :r !command, but I'm sure there's a way to avoid the :new if you know what you're doing (I don't). — o11c

The output is simply printed out into your terminal, so you should use terminal's capabilities to scroll. Both Linux TTY and many X11 terminal emulators support Shift-PgUp/PgDown; in X11, you can also use scrolling wheel if that's your thing.

If you need to process the output using Vim, you should prefix your ! with read: :read !python %; that will put the output into the current buffer.

Also I not able to add the shortcut "map :w:!python %|more".

It's better to ask only one question per post. What you're missing in your command is the key you're binding the command to; you should also escape % and |.
