[Bug 1654882] Re: vim python 2.x support missing

[Adam Conrad]

vim can't reliably/sanely run with python2 and python3 both linked in
(despite the build system letting you try), so we chose python3.  I'd
encourage you to upgrade your addons to py3 and give that a whirl.

If, however, you're stuck with python2 for now, you might want to try
installing "vim-nox-py2", which exists in xenial and yakkety for this
very reason.  We've dropped it in zesty and beyond, however.

Title:
  vim python 2.x support missing

Status in vim package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  While using vim with vim-youcompleteme is completely broken in Ubuntu
  16.04.

  While running the command:

  vim --version | grep python

  I observed the python support is missing in this vim build: -python

  +cryptv          +linebreak       -python          +vreplace
  +cscope          +lispindent      +python3         +wildignore

  Currently the vim-youcompleteme is completely unusable from vim-addon-
  manager.

  Also many vim plugin which I am currently using which requires this
  python support have stopped working altogether such as clang-format.py

  Kindly release an updated version with support for python-2.x.
