python - command not found [Solved]
Hey guys,
I'm trying to run a simple python script from within vim, but when I type :w !python I get: "bin/bash/ python command not found".
My feeling is that I miss something really stupid, like downloading something important, but I can't find the answer. Can you help me solve it?
Thenx in advance.

Re: python - command not found [Solved]
/usr/bin/python is part of the python package. Could it be that you want python2?
Your vim command and the error message look strange to me. Are you sure that's what you typed, and what the message was?

I downloaded the python package and it worked. The error wasn't with vim, the terminal gave the same error with pthon filename.py. Did it means that I used the python 3 interpeter for the code? Because I want python 2.
Thenx for the help so far.
edit: python2 insted of python worked. Thenk you for the help, It was really silly of me missing it. Thenks.

Remove python, install python2 package and see if the code works.

Re: python - command not found [Solved]
If the command "python" cannot be found, I think h4ld3n never even installed python(3), but just assumed the python2 package would provide a "python" executable.
Anyway, I think this can be marked [SOLVED] now.

Seems OP installed python3 just for this piece of code, so no reason to keep it installed if he prefers python2.
