python inside vim to obtain file list from current directory
Question: How would I use python script to communicate with vim..

Using ultisnips plugin, I have option to include shell script or python script
inside snippet definition, using `!p` for python for example. Now, what I am
trying to do is to get list of files in current directory and put them in
between `<files>` tag. something like this.

snippet lsf

    
    
    !p 
    import glob
    cwd = vim.eval("getcwd()")  # or maybe vim.eval("expand('%:h')")
    snip.rv = "\n".join([ "\t<files>%s</files>" % file for file in glob(cwd + "/*")])  
    

endsnippet

Dont pay attention to first and last lines as they are syntax for creating a
snippet using ultisnips, what counts is the whole script I have in syntax
highlighting.

but it throws errors. where I might be wrong, any suggestion?


Answer: You have simply imported the glob module not the glob function and have tried
calling the module as a function.

    
    
    !p 
    from glob import glob #Change this line as shown
    cwd = vim.eval("getcwd()")  # or maybe vim.eval("expand('%:h')")
    snip.rv = "\n".join([ "\t<files>%s</files>" % file for file in glob(cwd + "/*")])
    

This is at least the initial problem.
