-If you just want to start using Vim Python plugins with Nvim quickly, here's a
-simple tutorial:
+To use Vim Python 2/3 plugins with Nvim, do the following:
-- Make sure Python 2.6 or 2.7 is available in your `$PATH`.
-- Install the `neovim` Python package systemwide:
->
- # pip install neovim
+- For Python 2 plugins, make sure an interpreter for Python 2.6 or 2.7 is
+ available in your `$PATH`, then install the `neovim` Python package systemwide:
+ >
+ $ sudo pip install neovim
<
or for the current user:
>
$ pip install --user neovim
<
-Most Python plugins created for Vim 7.3 should work after these steps.
-
+- For Python 3 plugins, make sure an interpreter for Python 3.3 or above is
+ available in your `$PATH`, then install the `neovim` Python package systemwide:
+ >
+ $ sudo pip3 install neovim
+<
+ or for the current user:
+>
+ $ pip3 install --user neovim
