gvim as MATLAB editor (like emaclink)

I would like to use gvim as an integrated external editor in MATLAB. There is a way to do basic integration with win32com on windows as here: [login to view URL] But I know there is an emacslink component that allows much tighter integration (running selections, mlint, results in the editor etc.). This is written in lisp and as far as I can tell the MATLAB application listens as a server on a tcp port, which the emacs side then connects to. Basically I wanted to know if it would be possible to copy this functionality to vim, either in lisp (I think vim supports lisp for scripting) or python. I would like the code released under the gpl. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.
