Package: powerline
Version: 2.8.1-4
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Upon installing Powerline and successfully integrating it into Bash, I looked 
to the existing README.Debian and added the three suggested lines to my .vimrc. 
 Vim launched but did not display the expected status line output.  Instead, 
the default status line was displayed.

I attempted to execute the python code from the README manually to attempt to 
collect debug information, and the Python interpreter crashed and indicated 
that it couldn't find the bindings for vim.  Python was looking in various 
directories in dist-packages, but I then attempted to find any bindings in 
/usr/share/powerline/ where I had found the Bash bindings.  

The vim folder does not exist in this binary package or in the 2.8.3 build in 
testing.  The files do exist in the source repository on Salsa.

Was this not included because the default vim installation doesn't contain 
Python support?  Is there an alternate package of Powerline which contains the 
vim bindings?  Could they be enabled in the default package in a way which 
doesn't break anything for folks using vim.basic or vim.tiny while still 
allowing vim.nox and the other variants which contain Python support?
