Research direction
Start by reproducing the crash in MacVim with VimBox enabled, using Python 3.5 and the reported :python3 command. Investigate the Python initialization error involving the missing encodings module. Done means MacVim no longer aborts when opening a file or running that command, and Python reports its version normally.
