What is the vim feature: --enable-pythoninterp

Question

I am going to build vim and see that it supports the pythoninterp feature by --enable-pythoninterp. What is it? Since I am a big Python fan, I'd like to know more about it.

And also, what's the --with-python-config-dir=PATH for?

Answer 1

vim supports scripting in various languages, Python being one of them. See :h python for more details.
