I have Vim 7.4 installed on Windows 10 as part of a Mingw64 installation. I installed the YouCompleteMe plugin on it through Vundle, then ran the install.py
, which completed successfully.
Now, every time I lunch Vim I get this message:
YouCompleteMe unavailable: requires Vim compiled with Python 2.x support
And the plugin doesn't seem to be active.
I do have python 2.7 and 3.x installed:
>py --version
Python 3.5.1
>py -2 --version
Python 2.7.11
The YouCompleteMe
compilation and installation was successful, as far as I can tell:

However, even though this output indicates python is enabled, when I the the command :echo has('python')
inside Vim I get a 0 response. I think this should be a 1, no? Not sure what's missing...
Google had a couple of pointers but they are for things that I already checked (like Vim being compiled with python support), and all info was for Linux or Mac OSX. Nothing for Windows.
My vim installation should be 64 bits since it was installed with Mingw64, and I'm running python also 64 bits, as evidenced by:
$ py -c 'import struct;print( 8 * struct.calcsize("P"))'
64
and
$ py -2 -c 'import struct;print( 8 * struct.calcsize("P"))'
64
How can I fix this so that the YouCompleteMe
plugin will work properly?
:py
or:py3
throw? @romainl What's the point of looking at the plugin's issue tracker, when Vim itself isn't loading Python?
