I keep a vimrc file stored on Dropbox and use symlinks to point to this so my vimrc is always synced up. Recently I got a new laptop and the location of some utilities are different from that of my old machines -- in particular, my Python installation is in a different spot. Is there a way to do "let &pythonthreedll=PATH" where PATH is the location of Python on my local system (regardless of which machine I'm on)?

I set environment variables on my machine for the Python .dll and the Python directory. Then, I can reference these variables using the $path convention. Not sure if this is the best way to do this however!

1I'm not sue I understand your answer. Maybe sharing some code would help understanding what you did exactly. Jul 26, 2022 at 6:41
'pythonthreedll'is a Vim option used to specify the location of the Python 3 DLL if it's not on your search path (Windows) or if it doesn't match the environment variables used when compiling Vim (Unix)pythonthreedllis… also note that you can use things likeexepath()/executable()to find executables (not the same as a DLL, obviously, but can help with portability when needed).
