I installed the latest python(https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-370b3/) on my new PC, and explicitly use its dll for vim. Since the python version is quite new, some features Leaderf use is deprecated. Vim prints following error message when it starts up:

处理 C:\Users\bennyye\vimfiles\bundle\LeaderF\autoload\lfMru.vim 时发生错误:
第   10 行:

I think this issue is because the python3.7 version is not consistent with the version when compiling vim. I have installed the latest vim, with output of :version as below:

You can see -DDYNAMIC_PYTHON3 -DDYNAMIC_PYTHON3_DLL=\"python36.dll\" , so you should use python3.6 instead of python3.7.

@Yggdroot I did google it and I came up with nothing outside of downgraing to python 3.6 which is not an acceptable solution. The error explicitely says that it’s a deprecation warning coming from LeaderF. If it is indeed an issue from something other than LeaderF, maybe there should be a solution somewhere in the documentation since I’m not the first one to run into this issue.

Regretfully I cannot use this plugin anymore because of this issue. I hope it gets resolved soon.
