我是否漏掉了什么显而易见的东西，或者我必须使用foldmethod=expr，基于缩进设置折叠级别，并自己处理一些特殊情况？
简短回答： 你不能使用foldmethod=indent实现这个功能，但我找到了一个可以与foldmethod=expr一起使用的方法，所以不需要重复造轮子。请看详细回答。
详细回答：
简要回顾一下foldmethod=indent的工作原理...
- 查找从页面边缘向右移动
shiftwidth个空格的文本
- 插入新的
foldlevel
- 减少缩进会降低折叠级别
由于你的文本是在屏幕边缘对齐的，任何涉及到shiftwidth的内容最终都会被打破，除非你像你所做的那样对其进行修改。
我在找到适合的配置之前查看了几个不同的 .vimrc 配置。如果要比 foldmethod=indent 更清晰的解决方案，请使用下面的 ~/.vimrc 中的 foldmethod=expr。我在
jneb's bitbucket python-fold repo 中找到了它。
作为测试，我在你的示例中添加了几个案例...
class testclass(object):
def __init__(self):
self.testit = None
def __repr__(self):
return "guacamole"
def foobarme():
assert False
return 42
def getQuotation():
print "Fetching quotation from the absolutely useless function."
return ("Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, "
"upon this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated "
"to the proposition that \"all men are created equal\"")
在我的~/.vimrc底部使用python-fold会产生以下结果:
当我按下zR展开时：
提供信息，我在~/.vim/syntax/python.vim中使用Dmitry Vasiliev的python.vim进行Python语法高亮。
如果bitbucket仓库消失，我复制了jneb的vim脚本如下...
" Fold routines for python code, version 3.2
" Source: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2527
" Last Change: 2009 Feb 25
" Author: Jurjen Bos
" Bug fixes and helpful comments: Grissiom, David Froger, Andrew McNabb
" Principles:
" - a def/class starts a fold
" a line with indent less than the previous def/class ends a fold
" empty lines and comment lines are linked to the previous fold
" comment lines outside a def/class are never folded
" other lines outside a def/class are folded together as a group
" for algorithm, see bottom of script
" - optionally, you can get empty lines between folds, see (***)
" - another option is to ignore non-python files see (**)
" - you can also modify the def/class check,
" allowing for multiline def and class definitions see (*)
" Note for vim 7 users:
" Vim 6 line numbers always take 8 columns, while vim 7 has a numberwidth variable
" you can change the 8 below to &numberwidth if you have vim 7,
" this is only really useful when you plan to use more than 8 columns (i.e. never)
" Note for masochists trying to read this:
" I wanted to keep the functions short, so I replaced occurences of
" if condition
" statement
" by
" if condition | statement
" wherever I found that useful
" (*)
" class definitions are supposed to ontain a colon on the same line.
" function definitions are *not* required to have a colon, to allow for multiline defs.
" I you disagree, use instead of the pattern '^\s*\(class\s.*:\|def\s\)'
" to enforce : for defs: '^\s*\(class\|def\)\s.*:'
" you'll have to do this in two places.
let s:defpat = '^\s*\(@\|class\s.*:\|def\s\)'
" (**) Ignore non-python files
" Commented out because some python files are not recognized by Vim
"if &filetype != 'python'

foldmethod=syntax，并且执行set filetype=python吗？foldmethod=indent基于缩进进行折叠，所以在处理特定语言时并不是特别智能。 - actionshrimp\以在代码中保持一行？不知道这是否会对您有所帮助，但值得一试。...什么鬼，反斜杠+反引号是注释中的转义代码？ - JAB
