  • :help jedi-vi doesn't work at all after installation via vim-plug
    1 project | /r/vim | 13 Aug 2022
    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.

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

  • The Database Inside Your Codebase
    6 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 16 Feb 2021
    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.

    However, I made it faster for my use-case by changing some settings. Neovim allows to have these settings in the setup function for LSP. I was trying to figure out how do I change these settings with doom emacs. Pyright docs suggest to have these settings in pyrightconfig.json.

    Unfortunately, pyright explicitly stated that they are not interested in inlay hints or other language server features, that those will only be added to pylance. That's why I added it myself instead of submitting a pull request to pyright. See https://github.com/microsoft/pyright/issues/4325

    I prefer jedi over pyright as pyright has crippled documentation support outside of VSCode. I also found jedi is make correct suggestions based on inferred type in some situations where pyright would need type annotation to provide completions, pyright is significantly faster though. Jedi with mypy and flake8 is comparable to pyright I think, but unfortunately mypy wasn't working over tramp. Also isort wasn't working over tramp, but jedi, black, importmagic and flake8 all worked.

What are some alternatives?
