How to find Python 3's home and dll path installed by pyenv on Ubuntu?

When use vim's insert mode, it happened:

/home/user/.vim/plugged/ultisnips/autoload/UltiSnips.vim Error:
E319: Sorry, can't use: py3 import vim

Because now using this plugin:

Plug 'SirVer/ultisnips'

I installed Python3 by pyenv.

$ pyenv versions
  system
* 3.9.1 (set by /home/user/.pyenv/version)
$ which python
/home/user/.pyenv/shims/python
$ python -V
Python 3.9.1

When use macOS, set these items into ~/.vimrc can resolve the problem:

set pythonthreedll=/usr/local/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/Python
set pythonthreehome=/usr/local/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9

But on Ubuntu, how to find pythongthreehome and pythonthreedll path? I tried to set /home/user/.pyenv/shims/python, not work.

Solution

  • The problem is most likely that you have a Vim package without Python enabled.

    You can tell that from the vim --version output (or :version inside Vim.) If it says +python3 or +python3/dyn, then it means Python is enabled. On the other hand, if it says -python3, then it doesn't.

    If your Vim has Python disabled, you will need to install a different Vim package. On Ubuntu or Debian, you could use apt-get install vim-nox to install a Vim package which has Python enabled.
