How to run c.vim plugin for python files

I would like to run the c.vim plugin for VIM for not just c/cpp files but also for python files. I have already made all the custom templates for python.

When I create a new python file the c.vim does insert the automatic header that I have in the python template. However the shortcuts dont seem to work.

I am not able to figure out what else needs to be set to make it work.

Thank You for the help.

There is a way to make snippets for both C and Python file types using neosnippet plugin.

Install the plugin and configure the key mappings:

imap <C-k> <Plug>(neosnippet_expand_or_jump)
smap <C-k> <Plug>(neosnippet_expand_or_jump)

You might want to use Honza's snippets as well as your own:

let g:neosnippet#snippets_directory = [ '~/.vim/bundle/vim-snippets/snippets',
      \ '~/.vim/my-neosnippets' ]

Create ~/.vim/my-neosnippets/python/python.c.snippets file with custom snippets, for instance:

snippet [
  [${1}]

Then create a symbolic link to this file:

├── c
│   └── c.python.snippets -> ../python/python.c.snippets
└── python
    └── python.c.snippets

Now you can use python.c file type for Python files:

# vim: ft=python.c

And c.python file type for C files:

/* vim: set ft=c.python: */

If you don't like the idea to put modelines in every file, then you can use the rule for all C and Python files:

au FileType,BufRead c set ft=c.python
au FileType,BufRead python set ft=python.c
