My PC is running WindowsXP SP3 (Spanish version). I will give your suggestion a try and let you know if that solved my problem. Do you know if this distribution comes with python 2.6 support or with python 2.7 support? I'd like to get one that has python2.6 support, since that is the python version that I have installed in my PC.

Thank you Adam. I tested this version, but it seems to expect that python 2.7 is installed (when I ran the command ":python print" it gave the following error message: "E370: Could not load library python27.dll"). Since I have python 2.6, do you know if there is a version that is compiled with python 2.6 support? BTW, the vim.org download web page does not mention anywhere that the "OLE GUI Executable" version of the the vim package that comes with python support. I think that it would be nice if it did! :-) Thanks, Angel -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.

Thank you guys, I did not see your message until today. In fact I thought that my message had not been received on the forum and I resent it, creating another thread in which I got some additional answers. Since I have Python (2.6) installed in the default path and I can use it from the command line on windows, I am surprised that vim did not find it. That is what made me believe that the official vim release does not have python support enabled. Cheers, Angel -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!

Do you guys know if there is a particular reason why this is the case? Is it because there is a different version of vim for each python version? Thank you again, Angel Well, what concerns Python, Python 2.x and Python 3.x can be said to be "different languages", and the latest Vim 7.3 can be compiled with support for Python 2.x or 3.x or both or neither; but IIUC there are problems if you try to use both Python2 and Python3 in the same Vim. However, as with all interpreted languages, the version you have must be the version Vim was compiled for. If you have Python 2.5 and the Vim you installed was compiled for Python 2.8, you're out of luck. To see what the "Vim without Cream" build was compiled for, look at the release notes. The sourceforge site has been revamping its look&feel quite often recently, so I can't tell you exactly what the Notes link will look like by the time you read this; but look for either a "Notes" or "Release notes" link or a clipboard-like icon, on the right side of the page and on the same line as the download link for the latest installer.
