How do I install a version of vim with Python support?

Question

I'm trying to install a version of vim with Python support, but for some reason I can't seem to find anything useful when I search.
So far I've found posts that say arch doesn't have one built with Python support, and use this <broken link> AUR package. I've search AUR for "vim python" which turned up nothing. There *does* exist extra/gvim-python3, but when I install that, then vim (not gvim) still tells me "Error: Required vim compiled with +python"
This search:

Provides:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 1#p1070281 - Only a link to a bug report
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 0#p1144210 - Post with the 404'd AUR link
What I finally found was this Gist with directions on using the ABS:

Ultimately you'll have to change the particular tar.xz files you use in the pacman -U steps, but this should get you vim with Python enabled.

Answer 1

I have downloaded vim by cloning The Vim Mercurial repository.
hg clone https://vim.googlecode.com/hg/ ~/bin/vim_bin
Then i have a this script to install it in my own ~/bin/ dir.
#!/bin/bash
cd /home/myuser/bin/vim_bin/src
echo "---Configure----"
./configure --prefix=/usr --localstatedir=/var/lib/vim \
--with-features=big --with-compiledby="Custom Vim insall" \
--enable-gpm --enable-acl --with-x=no \
--disable-gui --enable-multibyte --enable-cscope \
--enable-netbeans --enable-perlinterp \
--enable-rubyinterp --enable-luainterp \
--enable-pythoninterp --with-python-config-dir=/usr/lib/python2.7/config \
--enable-python3interp --with-python3-config-dir=/usr/lib/python3.4/config > my_log
echo "=== Make ==="
make >> my_log
echo "==== Install ===="
make install >> my_log
Hope it helps some one
