Troubleshooting

1. If E319: Sorry, the command is not available in this version: python3 import sys raised:

Please check if your vim support +python3, by :version(within vim) or vim --version | grep python3 (Terminal). If +python3 is supported, please refer to (2), otherwise see Building Vim from source.

2. +python3 is shown in version, but :echo has('python3') gives 0:

This means vim cannot configure python3 library successifully, you may manually compile vim with --with-python3-config-dir=$PYTHON3PATH where $PYTHON3PATH is the path of your python3.
For conda users, pre-compiled macvim is recommended since it may turns complicated with the dylib.
