Motivation for this change
In the current Vim, the Python support can be implemented by linking to the Python library, e.g.,
lib/libpython3.8.dylib
on darwin. The previous workaround of wrapping Vim to prefix$PATH
is not sufficient anymore. Since in the current Vim, the Python interpreter is no longer invoked, but instead, the dynamically linked library is used, in which only the original Python modules are loaded, causing plugins to fail to load their required Python modules.Experiments show that, however, it is controlled by the
$NIX_PYTHONPATH
environment variable, as in development/interpreters/python/wrapper.nix. In this commit, we add the required environment variable to the wrapped Vim workaround as previously proposed. So that the Vim plugins can use Python modules in the specified Python derivation.Things done
