Git fixing vimfiles errors

I follow the simple git guide in the nettuts easy git guide

I initialized an empty git instance in my ~/ directory and then added my .vimrc and my .vim/ files.

 git add .vimrc git add .vim

However, when I execute the git commit command, I get messages that are not related to the error.

 sayth@linux-kt34:~> git commit Error detected while processing /home/sayth/.vimrc: line 203: E319: Sorry, the command is not available in this version: py << EOF line 204: E492: Not an editor command: import os.path line 205: E492: Not an editor command: import sys line 206: E492: Not an editor command: import vim line 207: E15: Invalid expression: 'VIRTUAL_ENV' in os.environ: line 224: E171: Missing :endif Press ENTER or type command to continue

If I press the enter button, I get the file. What am I doing wrong with this.

EDIT: removed virtualenv ref from .vimrc . I never noticed an error because I used gvim, which never violated the error.

When you run git commit without specifying a git commit message on the command line, it will start the editor (in your case vim ) so that you can enter it. Those errors that you see are from vim , saying that you have errors in your .vimrc file. You should get the same errors if you just run vim normally.

Your vim installation does not have python support. If you run the command

 vim --version | grep python

you should see +python , otherwise it means that python is missing from the vim installation.
