LeaderF is written in Python, it requires :echo has("python") or :echo has("python3") outputs 1 in vim/neovim.

• For vim, if :echo has("python") or :echo has("python3") is 0, you should check:

  1. vim --version | grep +python
     If there is no output, it indicates that vim is not compiled with python support.
     Windows users can download vim from the official release, where vim has already been compiled with python support.
     If you compile vim manually, --enable-pythoninterp and/or --enable-python3interp should be appended to configure when run configure.
  2. Is Python installed on the machine?
  3. Is Python 32bit or 64bit? It should be consistent with vim.
  4. Is Python version consistent with that used at compile time?
     If not, you should use pythondll or pythonthreedll to specify the name of python shared library, for example,

     set pythondll=/Users/yggdroot/.python2.7.6/lib/libpython2.7.so
     

     or

     set pythonthreedll=/Users/yggdroot/.python3.7.5/lib/libpython3.so
     

• For neovim, if :echo has("python") or :echo has("python3") is 0, you just need to do as below:
  For Python3:

  1. Make sure Python 3.4+ is available in your $PATH.
  2. Install the module (try "python" if "python3" is missing):

     python3 -m pip install --user --upgrade pynvim
     

  For Python2:

  1. Make sure Python 2.7 is available in your $PATH.
  2. Install the module (try "python" if "python2" is missing):

     python2 -m pip install --user --upgrade pynvim
     

  The pip --upgrade flag ensures that you get the latest version even if a previous version was already installed.
