It's not about SpaceVim.
The whole solution comes from this. Try to read them

Solution 1

You may want to check this: click me
Do this:

PYTHONHOME=/usr/local/Cellar/python3/3.x.y/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.x
PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONHOME/bin

Solution 2

1. brew install python3
2. cd /usr/local/bin
3. rm python3
4. ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/python3/3.6.1/Frameworks/Python.framework/‌​Versions/3.6/bin/pyt‌​hon3.6 /usr/local/bin/python3
   Then it should work.

@Gabirel Thanks.

[goodleixiao]

brew default install multiple python3, Uninstall all python3， ok！
@Gabirel thank you very much

[wsdjeg]

@goodleixiao nice!

[Benhgift]

@Gabirel THANK YOU! God. I spent all morning on this. You are the best ❤️

This is in my bashrc now, which fixed it (future readers will need to tweak that path probably):

export PYTHONHOME=/usr/local/Cellar/python/3.6.5/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONHOME/bin

I don't know if it matters but I brew uninstalled python, python3, python2, and macvim before reinstalling macvim and doing this.

[obiwanus]

brew uninstall --force python
brew install python3
worked for me

This is actually a VIM bug which was fixed at https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/0424958bde3d3e74c721ba39ab4d5a4744897393
