In the google searches I’ve done, the command I should be using is
brew install vim --with-python3
, which succeeds without error, but thenvim --version
reports Python 3 as unavailable.k162:~ asday$ brew install vim --with-python3 ==> Using the sandbox ==> Downloading https://github.com/vim/vim/archive/v7.4.2210.tar.gz Already downloaded: /Users/asday/Library/Caches/Homebrew/vim-7.4.2210.tar.gz ==> ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --mandir=/usr/local/Cellar/vim/7.4.2210/share/man --enable-multibyte --with-tlib=ncurses --enable-cscope --with-compiledby=Homebrew --enable-p ==> make ==> make install prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/vim/7.4.2210 STRIP=true 🍺 /usr/local/Cellar/vim/7.4.2210: 1,732 files, 28.5M, built in 52 seconds k162:~ asday$ vim --version VIM - Vi IMproved 7.3 (2010 Aug 15, compiled Oct 27 2015 16:22:14) Compiled by root@apple.com Normal version without GUI.

And doing
:py3 print("")
within vim returnsE319: Sorry, the command is not available in this version
.What is it I’m doing wrong? Do I need to compile vim myself?
Answer
The following works as of 26 May 2017 when a -python3
version of Vim is already installed via homebrew:
brew remove vim
brew cleanup
brew install vim --with-python3
