yavide works on python2.6

any way to fix this instead of rebuilding vim?

JBakamovic commented

Yes, that's correct. It requires Python2.

Ubuntu users also experience similar issues and as far as I understand some make it work by installing additional distro-specific package which includes vim compiled with Python2 support and others do it by rebuilding it themselves. I.e. this issue

I think you should really consider upgrading the plugin to use Python 3 for all the obvious reasons (i.e. Python 2 is phasing out rapidly).

On the other hand, for those who are interested, on debian systems try the package gvim-gtk3-py2. Better yet, try installing the metapackage gvim, and apt will spit out all available packages that you can install.
