Re: vim and python

[Rohan Shah]

Thanks, that was very helpful. I would like to uninstall the version of 
vim that cygwin installed and then re-install vim with python support. 
How can I uninstall vim? How can I set path related options? What path 
related options should I use?

In the unpacked vim-6.3-1 source directory call
    ./configure \
        --enable-multibyte \
        --without-x \
        --enable-gui=no \
        --enable-pythoninterp
All but the last option are also set in the standard build.  Note that
the --enable-pythoninterp option is untested on Cygwin.  When configure
has finished, call `make' and `make install`.  Since all path related
options are unset, this will install your version of vim under /usr/local.
So it doesn't collide with the Cygwin installed vim.
