[python related] vim crashes while starting

[writecoffee]

I compiled the ycm_core successfully after pointing the CMake flag -DPYTHON_LIBRARY to the libpython2.7.so manually.

But when I start my vim it starts calling the python and it failed.

ImportError: cannot import name MAXREPEAT

From the hint of the traceback, I looked into my default python (python2.7.4 shown from the which command), the _sre module does have the member MAXREPEAT. My vim is as follows:

VIM - Vi IMproved 7.3 (2010 Aug 15, compiled Jan 27 2013 21:36:33)
Included patches: 1-672

I spent a lot of time setting it up, a quick hint is very appreciated.

I don't really know how to help here; the problem is caused by your Vim/machine configuration in some way.

Actually this is a duplicate of issue #241.
