lo there all,

i do most of my work in ruby and in python.
i read some stuff about features available if i have vim compiled with ruby support
also about python if compiled with python support. My question is, which to install.
when i apt-cache search vim-ruby, its there and when i apt-cache search vim-python, its there.
is there a version in ubuntu that has both, if not how do i start each different one from the cli. i mean if i do vim myfile.py which vim will be loaded by default.

i appreciate any clarity.

vim-full has them both. vim-ruby has support for making Vim-plugins in Ruby. It doesn't mean ordinary coding like syntax highlighting.
