Sourcetrail VS jedi

I wish something existed in this space. I used Coati Software's Sourcetrail for a couple of years. Unfortunately it was discontinued. It was a wonderful piece of software that indexed a code repository, and exposed an interface to explore it interactively. At least for me, it significantly improved the understanding and legibility of code.

The code is in an archived state (https://github.com/CoatiSoftware/Sourcetrail). Searching for the software on Google shows some screenshots.

I think it might make large scale code visualization in a similar way to how SourceTrail does it more feasible: https://github.com/CoatiSoftware/Sourcetrail

I've used https://github.com/CoatiSoftware/Sourcetrail in the past for some bits of the legacy code project I'm on. I also use vim and cscope for day to day navigation but it's harder to get a big picture with those alone.

Sourcetrail?

Does it strive to do what Sourcetrail used to ?

You could always try using Sourcetrail. Unfortunately the open source project is now archived but it should still help you get insights into your code.

I don't use jedi at all, but from a quick glance at the README of the package you've installed, the code you've posted in your post installs the wrong repo; it seems davidhalter/jedi is just jedi's backend. To make it work with vim, install one of the plugins suggested in the README instead (it seems that davidhalter/jedi-vim) is the one you're looking for.

Jedi: https://github.com/davidhalter/jedi

Or better, use refactoring tool like rope, jedi, or whatever you have in your IDE to rename them.

For text completion, Jedi. For automated refactoring, I highly recommend rope. Some of the previously mentioned plugins provides Vim integrations with these excellent tools.

I've been playing with some ideas for creating a SQLite database of classes, functions and suchlike found in Python code, so I can analyze my codebases with SQL queries.

I've had some good initial results with https://github.com/davidhalter/jedi - which is the Python introspection library that powers various editor autocomplete implementations. I have a prototype which uses that to create a SQL database of functions, classes and places that they are used.

I've also been playing with https://github.com/github/semantic - it can parse Python, JavaScript and other languages and offers a --json-symbols option which dumps out a JSON object showing the symbols (functions, variables etc) found in the code.
