I don't know. Python requiring multibyte sounds strange, but Python
certainly requires expression evaluation. Maybe there is something in
the way Vim <=> Python calls are coded which requires UTF-8 or even
UTF-16le strings (which would require +multi_byte), I don't know.
+multi_byte is part of the Big featureset. What exactly does that
contain (in addition to the Normal featureset)? Hm, +arabic
++builtin-terms +conceal +cscope +emacs_tags +farsi +keymap +langmap
+mouse_dec +mouse_netterm +mouse_sgr +multi_byte +rightleft +signs.
Nothing very obvious AFAICT.
OTOH I'd think that the Tiny, Normal and Big featuresets have had more
testing than the rest, with +perl +python etc. usually added to a Big
(or Huge) build. Which platform (W32, W64, Linux, Mac) are you on? Maybe
you've found a bug in the way features are enabled or disabled depending
on each other?
Best regards,
Tony.
