eduarddan/vim-python3-build repository overview

⁠Vim Python3 Build.

Vim is a well-known and easy to install code editor on linux, thanks to the fact that most distributions have it in their repositories. But most of the packages that are already compiled do not have support for python3, which means that when we try to install plugins to work with python we get an error that tells us that we need it with support for +python3.

This image is using alpine 3.15 with python3.11 installed and vim version 8 compiled to python3 support.

⁠Getting and Using.

$ docker run -it --name myvim eduarddan/vim-python3-build

After of get the image and run a container you can execute vim in the shell:

$ vim

Now you can make sure that it is compiled with python3:

$ vim --version | grep python3

Now your vim editor have python3 support, util for install plugins. For example Vim Plug.⁠
