How to enable python3 in vim?

Question

I've been using vim for some time, and now in a need to use the python3 feature.

If I type vim --version | grep python I get -python3

How can I do to enable it?

IMO this can done only on the time of compiling vim.

$sudo apt-get install vim-gnome

should take care of that but the official repos are a bit behind.

I've been using this ppa for a while. After you have added it to your sources, upgrading Vim should give you python 3 support. It does, here.

You didn't tell us the platform you're on, but it basically boils down to:

Installing the prerequisite packages needed for Python 3 and for compiling Vim
Compile Vim with the configure --enable-python3interp option

Hi Ingo, you're right, I didn't specified that directly, but in the tags I put ubuntu. Thanks anyway, as I've been reading, I'd say this is the only way.

Slight correction, ./configure --enable-python3interp. The user should be able to know how to install from source, but explicitness is nice for lazy people. :)
