Note that this decision prevents a single Vim instance from being able to run both Python2 and Python3 code. For that reason alone, I'd rather have extensions linked with -lpythonX.Y. That would be one step toward me being able to enable dynamic loading of language bindings in Vim. Cheers, -- James GPG Key: 4096R/331BA3DB 2011-12-05 James McCoy <james...@debian.org>
