Run Python Script On File

Try this little thing:

from vim import *
from math import *
command('exe "normal gg/#[-\ ]*end\ of\ code\<Cr>jdG"') # delete everything below 'end of code'
aa = " .:+*xX08"
for y in range(32):
    current.buffer.append("#"+" "*int(sin(y/3.)*36+40)+"*")
# --- end of code ---

Paste it into Vim, save it and execute the command :pyf <filename of program>
