Required vim compiled with +python

Question

When I typed in raw and hit <C-x><C-o> in a python file, I get the Error:Required vim compiled with +python. But according to the result of command :version, there is a + rather than - in front of python, what should I do to fix this problem?

Answer 1

For Ubuntu 16.04, after install the plugin, do following to fix the issue:

sudo apt-get install vim-gnome-py2

Answer 2

Features marked as */dyn may or may not be available. The support for these features is not built in. It depends on the presence of dedicated shared objects.

To some of the features "/dyn" is added when the feature is only available when the related library can be dynamically loaded.

To check if your vim can use a dynamic feature, e.g. python do:

:echo has('python')

It will print 0 (false) or 1 (true)

See also python-dynamic.

Update:

If you installed vim from source, you will have to rebuild it. Use --enable-pythoninterp, --with-python-config-dir options. Also make sure you have python development headers and libraries installed (devel package).
