vim with python2 and python3 #3585

Description

@Abinayasandhiya

Hello,

Can anyone let me know do we can enable both python2 and python3 on single vim.

We are using RedHat machines and we want to use vim with python2[which is install under normal /usr path] and python3[which is installed on separate custom path].

so we have tried below option to enable python2 and python3:

%configure --prefix=%{_prefix} --with-features=huge \ --enable-pythoninterp=dynamic \ --enable-python3interp=dynamic --enable-perlinterp \ --enable-rubyinterp --enable-xim --enable-multibyte \ --with-tlib=ncurses --enable-gtk2-check --enable-gui=gtk2 \ --enable-cscope --enable-netbeans --enable-selinux \ --with-python3-config-dir=/opt/python/x86_64/3.6.0/lib/python3.6/config-3.6m-x86_64-linux-gnu \ --enable-fontset --with-tlib=tinfo \

But when we tried "vim --version" could see only python3 enabled but no python2.

    Looks like your system is missing some python2 development libraries. Not sure which ones you need on Red-Hat. Please also note, even if you compile with +python/dyn and +python3/dyn you most likely won't be able to use python2 and python3 within one single instance, see this answer on stackexchange.

    Note, also this is a user question and not an actual bug report.
    Please ask user questions on the vim_use mailinglist or use vi.stackexchange.com. This here is a bug tracker for problems with Vim. We cannot provide individual help here.
