Is it possible to use this plugin without Python3?

[romix]

It looks like this plugin requires Python3. If this is the case, can something be done so that it works with Python2 as well?

Why Python2 support is needed?
Python2 will be obsolete in 2020.

It is just the default setting on most MacBooks. And so far I could use all other plugins without changing the defaults, etc.

But if you could point to a simple description of how to configure vim/nvim on MacOS to use Python3, it would work as well.

In general, the only reason for filing this issue is to make this plugin work for MacBook owners out-of-the-box. As I mentioned, most other plugins I use (and I use may be 20 plugins) do not fail on MacBooks even if Python3 is not set as a default.

Can you install Python3 on MacBooks?

I think new Vim/neovim plugins should not support Python2.
The support of Python2 increases the maintainance cost.

I have created the Python3 only plugins, but no claim from Mac users.

No problem.

I'll try to find a good reference about configuring vim/nvim + Python3 on MacBooks and paste it here. It may help other MacBook users.

just install everything via homebrew...
