Please fix: Current gvim relies on old python 3.12

03 January 2025, 21:09:42

Both packages are installed from the artix repos, these are the outputs from `pacman -Ss '^python$'` and `pacman -Ss '^gvim$'`
```
system/python 3.13.1-1 [installed]
The Python programming language
```

```
world/gvim 9.1.0785-1 [installed]
Vi Improved, a highly configurable, improved version of the vi text editor (with
advanced features, such as a GUI)
extra/gvim 9.1.0954-1 [installed: 9.1.0785-1]
Vi Improved, a highly configurable, improved version of the vi text editor (with
advanced features, such as a GUI)
```
Just to be safe i uninstalled and reinstalled the world/gvim and vim-runtime packages.
But when I run vim I can try running the :python command, and get this output:
E319: Sorry, the command is not available in this version
This then causes breakage in any and all plugins which rely on python.
For example, running UltiSnips gives me the following errors
```
Error detected while processing TextChangedI Autocommands for "*"..script /home/kappa/.vim/p
lugged/ultisnips/autoload/UltiSnips.vim: line 10:
E370: Could not load library libpython3.12.so.1.0: libpython3.12.so.1.0: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory
Press ENTER or type command to continue
```
These come flying upon every keystroke in insert mode, making the use of vim impossible, the current workaround is disabling a couple of plugins which rely on python extensively.

Thx for reporting; problem has been fixed and after the mirrors have synced the new version of vim/gvim should be available.
