Is it possible to execute Python code in Vim?

Hello!

I've been occasionally playing around in Python on my Mac using TextMate, where I can execute the code by pressing Cmd+R. On my netbook I installed Geany, and I can run the code by pressing F5. Is it possible to achieve something similar in Vim?

I tried searching on Google but would only get results adhering to Windows or auto-completion.

If I understand you correctly that you want to execute the current file, it's simple: just do

:!python %

:!something means to execute something, and % is replaced with the name of the current file.
