Vim +python

flex_strongo · 2005-01-28 22:19:25

Hi guys, i'm trying to figure out how to configure vim to use the python interface. It doesn't say anything about it during a ./configure --help and I haven't been able to find much on-line about it. apparently there's supposed to be a +python option but I don't know how to enable it. Thanks!

./configure --enable-pythoninterp

there's also --enable-rubyinterp and --enable-perlinterp

also, the vim-custom package in my repo (below) has python enabled

I tried the configure --enable-pythoninterp, but when I ran a vi :version. It sill appeared as -python instead of +python

stupid question, but do you have python installed?

also, did you make a pacman package? if you did, I would suggest removing both vim and gvim from extra and then building and installing... they kinda share files in a weird way...

try grabbing the package from my repo and see if that works for you...

i seem to recall having this same problem... it had to do with the way it was built... like if you built it with a gui, don't run vim... dunno exactly

Yeah, I have python installed. I wasn't aware that gvim would conflict in a way. Thanks, I'll give that a shot. and if it doesn't work, I'm glad you build a package already!

it's not a conflict... just a way the build works... like the Makefile for vim can output like 5 or 6 differently named executables...

something's wrong with your repo. Says that the vim package isn't found:
:: Retrieving packages from phrakture...

crap!... eh i'll have to check it later on... might just be the host...

can you get the PKGBUILD?

Anyway, it build just fine after I removed gvim, thanks!

what benefits does this option offer? does the vim/gvim in the official repo have this?

i currently use gvim, mainly for python and i'm wondering if i would be benefited from updating.

I did it so I could mostly use this:
