Python interface must be enabled about vim-r-plugin HOT 3 CLOSED

Well - I tried uninstalling and reinstalling various different bits, and reinstalling both Py 2.7 and pywin32 seemed to make it work. Maybe the installations weren't as clean as I thought? Jakson, I will leave it to you to decide if this warrants further investigation - let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.

Hi,

I have limited knowledge of Windows and Python. I have developed the
communication between Vim and R on Windows through a very hard process
of trial and error and my only guess of why the plugin is not working
in your laptop is that there is a version mismatch.

I don't use Windows, but I tested the following in Windows XP running
inside Virtual Box, and it worked fine:

Vim 7.3.284
http://sourceforge.net/projects/cream/files/Vim/

Python 2.7.2
http://www.python.org/download/

pywin32-216.win32-py2.7.exe
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/Build216/

Best regards,

Jakson

Hello - I've been using the vim-R plugin on my WinXP desktop for some time now, and I'm now trying to get it set up on a laptop.  I've been encountering a persistent problem, however: when I try to open an R file for the first time, I receive a message that "Python interface must be enabled to run Vim-R-Plugin.  Please do `:h r-plugin-installation' for details".

Which I do, but I don't see any information there that conflicts with what I've done.  Here's some additional information about my setup:

Windows XP
Python 3.2.1 (currently, but also tried 2.7.2 before)
pywin32 build 216 (specifically, pywin32-216.1.win32py3.2.exe for Python 3.2, pywin32-216.1.win32py2.7.exe for Py 2.7)
Vim 7.3.46
Vim-R-Plugin 110805

The installations of R, Python, pywin32, Vim, and the Vim-R plugin are all fresh, and I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling most components with no luck.  Do you have any suggestions?  Am I missing something obvious?

Since Matt Parker solved his own problem, I'll close this issue.

Vim is compiled against a specific version of Python and the same version must be installed in the system in order to have Python interface enabled in Vim. Otherwise there will be a version mismatch.

The way of solving this version mismatch seems to be:

1. Uninstall all versions of Python and PyWin32 if any of them is installed.
2. Type :version in Vim (normal mode).
3. Look for a string like -DDYNAMIC_PYTHON_DLL="python27.dll".
4. Install the Python version which corresponds to the version which Vim was linked against. In the example of step 3 (python27.dll) the required Python version is 2.7.x.
5. Install the PyWin32 wich corresponds to the installed Python version.
