    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.
