YouCompleteme unavailable : no module named future

Question

i am trying to install the YouCompleteMe Plugin in vim using Vundle but i get this error message : YouCompleteme unavailable : no module named future

i have vim 7.4.1910 and python 3.5.2 but i don't know if vim was built to support python3

I'm getting the same error on Fedora 24. @P4C the output from your command for is 1 (for `has('python')`) — pandita, Aug 19 '16 at 22:28

its that your modules are not updated or future module is not found. to fix this. if you are using ubuntu then first go to

$ cd ~/.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe && git submodule update --init --recursive

this will update all the modules in youcompleteme

Also running the `install.py` script in the YouCompleteMe folder helped for me – gitaarik Jun 27 '19 at 10:17
I had to do both: `cd ~/.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe ; git submodule update --init --recursive` and `./install.py`. Then everyone was fine. – TheZeke Oct 14 '20 at 23:10

I had the same issue and fixed it by running pip install future. You may have to do this with sudo.

sudo -H pip install future – Jenny T-Type Apr 14 '17 at 18:14
`-H` is the short version of `--set-home` longopt. Sudo required me to specify the -H flag in order to install this module. – Jenny T-Type Apr 18 '17 at 14:08
@JennyT-Type it is not a good idea to use sudo with pip. – Sumithran Oct 29 '20 at 16:21
