Vim folding on Python functions

Question

I try to fold on Python functions, not on indent. Is there a build in method or Regex-rule I can use? (Solved further down)

This is my code so far:

set foldmethod=indent
nnoremap <space> za
vnoremap <space> zf

Two last lines is for open/closing with Space.

The top/black-version is what I try to accomplish. Overlapping terminal is my version (+styling) (From Fast.ai - Lesson 3: Deep Learning 2018)

Complete with styling:

set foldmethod=indent
nnoremap <space> za
vnoremap <space> zf
syntax on
colorscheme desert

(How to change the global-config in Vim: 'cd ~' and 'vim .vimrc')

Solution from python-mode:

cd ~/.vim/pack/foo/start
git clone https://github.com/python-mode/python-mode.git
cd python-mode
git submodule update --init --recursive

And this line in ~/.vimrc to enable closing with space

nnoremap <space> za

Could be that you have to create all the folders in ~/.vim/pack/foo/start

My result:

If you can't find it here, you might want to ask on Vi and Vim Stack Exchange. Be sure to read their rules beforehand though. — Patrick Haugh

user202729, HTML-parsing is a different problem than this example. I don't see how your example would limit parsing functions in Python, even if they include HTML. — Punnerud

The excellent python-mode plug-in folds on its own, more advanced expression, by default. It produces the results in your screenshot.
