[Bug 1549507] Re: vim in xenial not compiled with python support

[Olli Niemi]

I just tried vim-nox (is that for "no X"?) and it seems Python 3 support
works there. I had to use the "let g:UltiSnipsUsePythonVersion = 3"
definition there because the autodetection did not work. For Powerline I
installed powerline and python3-powerline packages and used the
following configuration:

let powerlinecmd=substitute(system("which powerline"), '\n\+$', '', '')
if !empty(glob(powerlinecmd))
    python3 from powerline.vim import setup as powerline_setup
    python3 powerline_setup()
    python3 del powerline_setup
endif

Also: vim-plug seems to be working in parallel mode with no
configuration needed. The default Python is still version 2 in Ubuntu so
version 3 needs to be defined manually.

Title:
  vim in xenial not compiled with python support

Status in vim package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  vim in xenial as of Feb 24, 2016 is missing python support. This has
  been present in all previous builds of vim at least since 14.04. For
  me, this makes the vundle-installed plugin ultisnips complain as
  follows:

  UltiSnips requires py >= 2.7 or py3
  Press ENTER or type command to continue

  I'm requesting that vim be modified to include python support

  Ubuntu xenial snapshot:
  vim --version |grep python
  +cryptv          +linebreak       -python          +viminfo
  +cscope          +lispindent      -python3         +vreplace

  Ubuntu 14.04
  vim --version |grep pyth
  +cryptv          +linebreak       +python          +viminfo
  +cscope          +lispindent      -python3         +vreplace
