start python error about yavide HOT 4 CLOSED

Ok. i got a solution. it seems a doubt of Ubuntu 16.04 vim gvim dont have python2 support default in distribution package.

sudo apt install vim-gnome-py2
sudo update-alternatives --set vim /usr/bin/vim.gnome-py2
sudo update-alternatives --set gvim /usr/bin/vim.gnome-py2

Great! Glad you managed to fix it. Thanks for the feedback. Maybe it's worth to put this info into the documentation.

It looks like your vim is lacking python support which I would find rather strange as a default on Ubuntu 16.04. Are you by chance using your custom built vim instance? And can you please write down the output of vim --version here?
