You don't have vim compiled with Python support. Check out the documentation for details.

Thank you.

I cannot find instructions about how to compile vim with python support. Could you add more info to documentation.
To enable python support you should add following options:
--enable-pythoninterp --with-python-config-dir=/usr/lib/python2.7/config/, where /usr/lib/python2.7/config/ is specific to Ubuntu 12.04.*

Aw man, doesn't Ubuntu provide vim with Python support by default either? I'll add some more instructions to the docs, thanks for the tip. :)

Vim from Ubuntu package has python support but some crazy folks want to compile vim from source, so additional info could be useful :)
Thank you!

Ah, I see. Do you know if --with-python-config-dir is absolutely necessary on Ubuntu? I'm running Arch and I don't use that flag when compiling vim, so I just wondered if it works without the flag on Ubuntu as well.

Also we need to make sure that python header present in the system. On Ubuntu you can install it with
sudo apt-get install python2.7-dev

from powerline.

Oh, you're right. Actually it's not necessary. You just have to install python2.7-dev and vim will find it automatically. First time python2.7-dev wasn't installed on my machine, so vim failed to find it with:

checking for python2... /usr/bin/python2
checking Python version... 2.7
checking Python is 1.4 or better... yep
checking Python's install prefix... /usr
checking Python's execution prefix... /usr
checking Python's configuration directory... 
can't find it!

Thanks, I've updated the requirements section in the docs to include this information.
