I don't know what changes need to be made, but I suppose they can be made without breaking compatibility, by making sure that when FEAT_PYTHON is defined, another #define has the Python version, and having conditional-compile #if lines testing that where necessary. This would, I suppose, involve changes to src/if_python.c and possibly elsewhere (configure maybe, and/or the various makefiles). AFAIK, no such changes have been brought into the Vim source yet, so unless you want to make and test them, or know someone who will, ATM if you want Vim with Python you're better off staying with Python 2.x Best regards, Tony. -- Why don't elephants eat penguins ?
