+Vim can be built in four ways (:version output):
+1. No Python support (-python, -python3)
+2. Python 2 support only (+python or +python/dyn, -python3)
+3. Python 3 support only (-python, +python3 or +python3/dyn)
+4. Python 2 and 3 support (+python/dyn, +python3/dyn)
+
+You can see that when Python 2 and Python 3 are both supported they must be
+loaded dynamically. This may cause some problems though, therefore currently
+inside a Vim executable you can only use Python 2 or Python 3. To switch to
+the other one you need to restart Vim.
