I'm not sure if this is a vim issue or a python 3.7 issue. I have compiled both vim and python 3.7 from source. Whenever I try to execute a python3 block in a vim script I get the following crash:
``` Fatal Python error: PyThreadState_Get: no current thread Vim: Caught deadly signal ABRT Vim: Finished. Aborted (core dumped) ``` Doing some googling I find that this question has been asked in the context of YouCompleteMe and MacVim, but I'm on Ubuntu 16.04 and I'm not using any plugins. I do have multiple versions of python and vim on my system, so I'm wondering if libraries might potentially be getting confused. I'll do my best to explain my setup. Because I'm on Ubuntu 16.04 I have python3.5 installed to the system (in /usr/bin/python3.5). I want to upgrade to 3.7, so I decided I would install that locally to override the system default. So, I cloned the source and installed a new build into ~/.local. Here is how I installed python 3.7 ``` cd ~/code git clone https://github.com/python/cpython.git export NCPUS=$(grep -c ^processor /proc/cpuinfo) export PREFIX=$HOME/.local cd ~/code/cpython ./configure --prefix=$PREFIX --exec-prefix=$PREFIX \ --enable-shared --enable-ipv6 --enable-loadable-sqlite-extensions --with-fpectl \ --with-dbmliborder=bdb:gdbm --with-computed-gotos --with-ensurepip --with-threads \ 'CFLAGS=-g -fstack-protector-strong -Wformat -Werror=format-security ' \ 'LDFLAGS=-Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions -Wl,-z,relro' \ 'CPPFLAGS=-Wdate-time -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2' make -j$NCPUS make install ``` This build seems to work fine for all my normal python use-cases (except when it comes to vim-scripts). Then I did the same for vim. ``` git clone https://github.com/vim/vim.git cd ~/code/vim ./configure \ --prefix=$HOME/.local \ --enable-pythoninterp=no \ --enable-python3interp=yes \ --with-python3-config-dir=$(python3.7-config --configdir) \ --enable-gui=gtk3 cat src/auto/config.mk | grep PYTHON3 make -j9 ``` Note, I have previously built vim to target the system python3.5 and everything works fine, but when linking to 3.7 I encounter a problem. I made a test file: ``` python3 << EOF import sys print('hello') EOF ``` And when I run this test `./src/vim -u NONE --cmd "source test.vim"` after building vim. I get the PyThreadState_Get error. If I revert back to my old vim build (which was linked to python 3.5) the test correctly prints hello. So, I'm at a bit of a loss as to what could be going wrong. For now I'm just going to have to switch back to 3.5, because I depend heavily on having python scripting in my vimrc. For additional information here are my envvars and the vim and python specs: ``` PATH=/home/joncrall/.local/bin:/home/joncrall/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin:/home/joncrall/scripts LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/joncrall/.local/lib:/usr/local/lib ./src/vim --version VIM - Vi IMproved 8.0 (2016 Sep 12, compiled Mar 27 2017 10:35:20) Included patches: 1-514 Compiled by joncrall@hyrule Huge version with GTK3 GUI.
