I'd like to know which compilation options were used for my Vim binary. Is there any way to query this?
Specifically, I'm interested in if it has Python support enabled.

Vim typically has a number of common compiler configurations installed, as mentioned, so it will automatically choose the appropriate one. To actually use the compiler configuration you need to use the Vim :make function, as also mentioned, but the default mode of operation expects a Makefile to exist.
Run :ve[rsion] in command-line mode or run vim --version from Bash. If vim was compiled with Python 3, you'll find -python and +python3 . If vim was compiled with Python 2, you'll find +python and -python3 . If vim was compiled without Python support, you'll find -python and -python3 1.
You can see everything vim was compiled with by executing
:version To query for an exact feature like python you can use the has() function with the feature you are looking for. The code below will return a 1 if it has the feature or 0 if it does not.
:echo has('python') For a list of features see :h +feature-list
For more information see:
:h :version :h has( :h feature-list Use vim --version. Mine shows:
