Version 0.80

- removed the dependency on exuberant ctags which parsed the python source code wrongly anyways. From now on only VIM with python support is needed. This might greatly help windoze users.

 " --------
 " Vim script to help moving around in larger Python source files. It displays

+" current class, method or function the cursor is placed in on the status

 "
 " Requirements
 " ------------
-" This script needs VIM compiled with Python interpreter and relies on

 "
 " Installation
 " ------------
 " 1. Make sure your Vim has python feature on (+python). If not, you will need

 " 2. Copy script pythonhelper.vim to the $HOME/.vim/plugin directory
-" 3. Edit the script and modify the location of your exuberant tags utility
-"    (variable CTAGS_PROGRAM).
-" 4. Run Vim and open any python file.
