+## Python Notes
+
+If you are using python, or any other language with syntactic whitespace, you
+will likely want to change the following settings to better support the
+required whitespace:
+
+``` vim
+let g:VtrStripLeadingWhitespace = 0
+let g:VtrClearEmptyLines = 0
+let g:VtrAppendNewline = 1
+```
+
+Additionally, if you are using ipython, you will need to ensure it is
+installed with proper readline support. Ref [this Stack Overflow thread][] and
+answer for more detail.
+
+You will also need to start ipython with auto-indentation disabled, which can
+be done with the following `ipython --no-autoindent`.

+3.12 g:VtrStripLeadingWhitespace~
+
+When interacting with most REPLs, indentation will automatically be added to
+the beginning of lines based on the syntax. The setting causes VTR to strip
+leading whitespace before sending lines to avoid doubly indented lines.
+
+By default this setting is enabled, but if you are using a language with
+syntactic whitespace like python or coffeescript then you will likely want to
+disable this setting.
