+	Specifies the python version used for pyx* functions and commands
+	|python_x|.  The default value is as follows:
+
+		Compiled with		     Default ~
+		|+python| and |+python3|	0
+		only |+python|			2
+		only |+python3|			3
+
+	Available values are 0, 2 and 3.
+	If 'pyxversion' is 0, it is set to 2 or 3 after the first execution of
+	any python2/3 commands or functions.  E.g. `:py` sets to 2, and `:py3`
+	sets to 3. `:pyx` sets it to 3 if Python 3 is available, otherwise sets
+	to 2 if Python 2 is available.
+	See also: |has-pythonx|
+
+	If Vim is compiled with only |+python| or |+python3| setting
+	'pyxversion' has no effect.  The pyx* functions and commands are
+	always the same as the compiled version.
