When Powerline is installed as a package in the system-wide site-packages folder it can easily be enabled by adding a simple python statement to the user's vimrc file. Otherwise it can be added by doing a :source path/to/plugin/vim/powerline.vim in vimrc, but the other way of doing it works without specifying the full path as long as Powerline is installed somewhere in sys.path.
========= Powerline ========= :Author: Kim Silkebækken (kim.silkebaekken+vim@gmail.com) :Source: https://github.com/Lokaltog/powerline **This is alpha software, expect things to change or break at any point.** This is the next version of Powerline, implemented in Python. It aims to resolve some of the "unresolvable" problems of the vimscript implementation, as well as providing a common code base for all projects that use Powerline in some way (e.g. shell prompts and tmux themes). Some of the new features for vim are: * **Dynamic statusline evaluation in Python.** Python performs really well and allows Powerline to re-render the statusline in Python instead of relying on vim's statusline flags. This means no more caching, and much more flexibility. * **Automatic removal of less important segments in small windows.** Not all information is equally important to have in the statusline, and segments with e.g. encoding and file format information are automatically removed in smaller windows. * **The possibility of adding more segments.** Because of vim's hardcoded limitation of 80 statusline options, the vimscript implementation triggered an error when adding more segments to the default theme. Since segment contents are now rendered as plain text in Python it's possible to add many more segments in the statusline before hitting this limit.
