Well, what concerns Python, Python 2.x and Python 3.x can be said to be
"different languages", and the latest Vim 7.3 can be compiled with
support for Python 2.x or 3.x or both or neither; but IIUC there are
problems if you try to use both Python2 and Python3 in the same Vim.
However, as with all interpreted languages, the version you have must be
the version Vim was compiled for. If you have Python 2.5 and the Vim you
installed was compiled for Python 2.8, you're out of luck.
To see what the "Vim without Cream" build was compiled for, look at the
release notes. The sourceforge site has been revamping its look&feel
quite often recently, so I can't tell you exactly what the Notes link
will look like by the time you read this; but look for either a "Notes"
or "Release notes" link or a clipboard-like icon, on the right side of
the page and on the same line as the download link for the latest installer.
Best regards,
Tony.
