+Changes from the original ``python.vim`` are:
26
+
27
+- Added support for Python 3 syntax highlighting
28
+- Added ``:Python2Syntax`` and ``:Python3Syntax`` commands which allow to
29
+  switch between Python 2 and Python 3 syntaxes respectively without
30
+  reloads/restarts
31
+- Updated strings highlighting
32
+- Enhanced special symbols highlighting inside strings
33

38
+- Added highlighting for doctests
39
+- Added highlighting for new ``@decorator`` syntax introduced in Python 2.4a2
40
+- Added highlighting for the following errors:
41
+
42
+  - invalid symbols in source file
43
+  - mixing spaces and tabs
44
+  - invalid numeric constants
45

49

50
+
51
+How to install
52
+--------------
53
+
54
+The easiest installation method is to place `syntax/python.vim
55
+<https://github.com/hdima/python-syntax/blob/master/syntax/python.vim>`_ script
56
+into your ``~/.vim/syntax/`` directory.
57
+
58
+You can also use `Pathogen <https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen>`_ or `Vundle
59
+<https://github.com/gmarik/vundle>`_ plugin managers in which case you can
60
+install the whole `python.vim repository
61
+<https://github.com/hdima/python-syntax>`_ into the corresponding plugins
62
+directory.
63
+
64
+Script options
65
+--------------
66
+
67
+There are two commands to enable or disable an option:
68
+
69
+``:let OPTION_NAME = 1``
70
+  Enable option
71
+``:let OPTION_NAME = 0``
72
+  Disable option
73
+
74
+For example to enable all syntax highlighting features you can place the
75
+following command in your ``~/.vimrc`` script::
76
+
77
+  let python_highlight_all = 1
78
+
