Public bug reported: Part of the README.Debian says:
vim --- Make sure the vim-nox package is installed, and insert the following lines in your ~/.vimrc file: python from powerline.vim import setup as powerline_setup python powerline_setup() python del powerline_setup But since vim is now using python3 (at least in Xenial), those lines don't work, generating error E319. I've wasted an entire afternoon trying to figure out how to make it work, until in a wild guess I replaced "python" with "python3" and it worked. I couldn't find any place with references to python3 in vimrc, so it was a lucky guess, and it should be documented. ** Affects: powerline (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1576843 Title: README.Debian needs clarification To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/powerline/+bug/1576843/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
