How to configure vim to not put comments at the beginning of lines while editing python files

by

I found an answer here http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Restoring_indent_after_typing_hash

It seems that the vim smartindent option is the cause of the problem.
The referenced page above describes work-a-rounds but after reading the help in smartindent in vim itself (:help smartindent), I decided to try cindent instead of smartindent.

I replaced 

set smartindent

with 

set cindent

in my .vimrc file

and so far it is working perfectly.

This changed also fixed the behavior of ‘<<‘ and ‘>>’ for indenting visual blocks that include python comments.

There are more configuration options for and information on indentation in the vim help for smartindent and cindent (:help smartindent and :help cindent).
