documentation on how to set up vim for python?

Okay so apparently VIM is a really good text editor and I want to start using it for Python. I installed lubuntu (VM) and I did the command sudo apt-get install vim-gtk, but im wondering now how to set up vim for python? Is this documented anywhere? I'm new to linux. Can someone help me out with this? What's the next step after sudo apt-get install vim-gtk?

That said, people have managed to set up Vim for productive development in a variety of languages, but, unless "real" IDEs, some effort and learning will be required on your side. Best start by perusing blog articles like these:
