The ability of Vim to run Python commands is one of many optional
features that can be enabled or disabled when the program is
built. This allows a Vim program runtime of reasonable size (where
"reasonable" is decided by the person building the program); many of
the optional features are quite large, and building all of them into
the program would be a poor choice.

To find out what features are explicitly enabled or disabled in your
Vim program, type ':version'. The feature 'python' will be listed as
'+python' if enabled, '-python' if disabled.

If it's disabled and you want it enabled, you'll need to rebuild Vim
with that option enabled; or find someone who's done the same
(preferably the same person you got your default Vim from) and install
that program.
