:echo has('python') || has('python3') – Hagioscope

I'm getting the same error on Fedora 24. @Hagioscope the output from your command for is 1 (for has('python')) – Barsky

Answer 1

its that your modules are not updated or future module is not found. to fix this. if you are using ubuntu then first go to

$ cd ~/.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe && git submodule update --init --recursive

this will update all the modules in youcompleteme

Also running the install.py script in the YouCompleteMe folder helped for me – Shimmery

I had to do both: cd ~/.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe ; git submodule update --init --recursive and ./install.py. Then everyone was fine. – Attenuator

Answer 2

I had the same issue and fixed it by running pip install future. You may have to do this with sudo.

sudo -H pip install future – Curran

-H is the short version of --set-home longopt. Sudo required me to specify the -H flag in order to install this module. – Curran

@JennyT-Type it is not a good idea to use sudo with pip. – Lithia
