vim module missing

[cottrell]

Seems to be missing from the requirements. Which module named vim is this using?

$ python -c 'import ropevim'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/.../site-packages/ropevim-0.7.0-py3.5.egg/ropevim.py", line 13, in <module>
    import vim
ImportError: No module named 'vim

Yes, ropevim is not useable outside of the Python embedded in vim. http://vimhelp.appspot.com/if_pyth.txt.html#python-vim

These kind of errors happen when starting vim the ropevim plugin installed. The errors seem to be coming from the Anaconda python that I use by default. Probably ropevim or vim (on OSX) are not isolating themselves properly from my env.

I have the same issue.

For any of you trying to use ropevim with pyenv, here's how I've done it:

1. Find out which python version your vim is compiled with (vim --version | grep python should give you an idea).
2. Install ropevim dependencies using the equivalent pip. For example, let's suppose this is my vim --version output:

...

-lm -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -ltcl8.6 -ldl -lz -lpthread -lieee -lm -lruby-2.3 -lpthread

As you can see, my vim was compiled with python 3.5 that is installed at /usr/bin/python3.5. You may install ropevim dependencies by executing /usr/bin/python3.5 -m pip install rope ropevim rope ropemode. Things should work "normally" after that.

Please bear in mind that by running ropevim in vim's embedded python will limit you to that python version, i.e. you can't expect ropevim to work when you're editing later python version scripts.
