E887: Sorry, this command is disabled, the Python's site module could not be loaded.

I am desperate. I don't understand vim behavior. I have vim 8.0.604 installed and later downloaded Python 3.6.5 (v3.6.5:f59c0932b4, Mar 28 2018, 17:00:18) [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. I still get the same error when I run ":py print(1)" from vim, for instance.

I really don't understand what causes to vim not to able to run python even though running "vim --version" it shows support for python and python3. Is there anything I am doing wrong.

In eval.txt (vim 8.0.1842), line 5423, job_start() is documented. On
the 13th
line underneath it there is this text:

On MS-Windows, job_start() makes a GUI application
hidden. If
want to show it, Use :!start instead.

Perhaps it should be "If you want" and "use"?

Yes, I'll correct it.

I found this older message; the issue hasn't been resolved because the text has been moved from eval.txt to the file channel.txt (as part of the package vim-common-9.0.1677-2.fc38.x86_64). See issue below.

"want to show it, Use :!start instead." is now on line 959.
