The default Vim provided by Ubuntu 16.04 even did not have Python support. That‘s insane.
I say, what if I wanted to use Vim as a Python IDE in Linux as before? Ubuntu, you can‘t be so careless.
Using this command to check whether it has
vim --version
I have compiled one deb package for Ubuntu 16.04
Remove old ones and install this one
sudo apt-get remove vim-tiny vim-common vim-gui-common
Go install dependencies
mkdir /usr/share/vim/vim74/ -p
Go get it
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BzL1CwVspEkiS2lwUURsQUMtYUU
dpkg -i vim_7.4.1952-1_amd64.deb
Check it out
vim --version
To make it the default editor
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/editor editor /usr/bin/vim 1 sudo update-alternatives --set editor /usr/bin/vim sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/vi vi /usr/bin/vim 1 sudo update-alternatives --set vi /usr/bin/vim
