If that's the only issue, it's easy to fix it. All you need to do is to replace multiple new lines with single new line. let s:foo_text = substitute(a:text, '\n\s*\n\+', '\n', 'g') . "\n" Here is my slightly modified slime.vim: http://gist.github.com/589934 http://gist.github.com/589934 I have been using it on Ubuntu with vim and IPython and it seems to work fine. When I started using slime.vim for Python, I ran into whitespace issue and Jonathan(slime.vim developer) resolved it when I asked him on his blog. http://technotales.wordpress.com/2007/10/03/like-slime-for-vim/ http://technotales.wordpress.com/2007/10/03/like-slime-for-v...
