.vimrc

adjustments being made to .vimrc in anticipation of putting those into homepg/dot.vimrc:

syntax highlighting works, but not error/lint checking

possible notes

from the docs:

Important notes:

From 2017-11-19 onwards python-mode uses submodules instead of hard coding 3rd party libraries into its codebase. Please issue the command: git submodule update --init --recursive inside your python-mode folder.

docs:

    cd ~/.vim/bundle/python-mode
    > git submodule update --init --recursive

Probably should have done this the first time:

    git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/python-mode/python-mode

what seems to have worked:
