yavide works on python2.6

any way to fix this instead of rebuilding vim?

[JBakamovic]

Yes, that's correct. It requires Python2.

Ubuntu users also experience similar issues and as far as I understand some make it work by installing additional distro-specific package which includes vim compiled with Python2 support and others do it by rebuilding it themselves. I.e. this issue

I think you should really consider upgrading the plugin to use Python 3 for all the obvious reasons (i.e. Python 2 is phasing out rapidly).

On the other hand, for those who are interested, on debian systems try the package gvim-gtk3-py2. Better yet, try installing the metapackage gvim, and apt will spit out all available packages that you can install.

[shiftre]

Yup, already did.
