HI @dbrill ,

What type of file do you open? What version of Vim do you you?

[dbrill]

I'm running Vim 8.0 and I opened a python file.

It's very strange that you see an error. Can you, please, run vim --version and ctags --version and post it here?

It should be looking like this:

Hey I figured out the problem. When installing xcode it copied its BSD version of ctags to /usr/bin/ which was found and executed before my brew installed version of ctags at /usr/local/bin. For some reason xcode's version of ctags was causing trouble. Thanks for the responses!

Great! Good to know that it's figured out! Thanks!
