Jumpt to definition only gives results from system python when working on python itself.

[gmosteoru]

While testing jedi on a cpython clone I noticed that I only get results from my system python installation, and not from the clone I was working on.

The file tried was cpython/Lib/distutils/dir_util.py

For the first call to is_linlk function from this module I don't even get the system suggestions.

On the other hand F12 gives me good suggestions.

Also, find usages seems to have problems with public functions, because I only get usages for private ones.

Sorry but, what you mean, cpython clone? What steps to reproduce the problem?

[gmosteoru]

through cpython clone I mean:

hg clone http://hg.python.org/cpython

STR:

1. Using ST3 add the cpython folder to your project.
2. Open Lib/distutils/dir_util.py and in this file search for a call to os.path.islink
3. Try to jump to the islink function definition

Expected: I'm presented with a list of islink function definition from files that are inside the project

Actual: I'm presented with options from the system python installation, namely: /usr/lib/python2.7/ntpath.py /usr/lib/python2.7/posixpath.py

Note: If I use ST3 build in goto definition I'm presented only with options from within the project, which I consider it's better, since I'm working on the actual thing:

Lib/macpath.py Lib/ntpath.py Lib/posixpath.py posixpath.py

Made some experiments:

Works with next projects settings for me :

{
    "folders":
    [
        {
            "path": "/storage/PythonProjects/cpython"
        }
    ],

    "settings": {
       "python_package_paths": [
            "/storage/PythonProjects/cpython/Lib"
        ] 
    }
}

"python_package_paths" will be added in the head of the PYTHONPATH, what will helps Jedi to find required modules

UPD: But still little bit odd, case islink in macpath.py was not found. UPD2: Found same troubles with vim-jedi - jedi looks for islink definition in the system (environment) python

I've modified my .sublime-project to look like this:

{
    "folders":
    [
        {
            "path": "apps_projects/cpython"
        }
    ],

    "settings": {
        "python_package_paths": [
            "apps_projects/cpython/Lib"
        ]
    }
}

But nothing changes for me.

Is there anything else I should also do ?

[srusskih]

Paths should be global

[gmosteoru]

Thanks, that was it.

[srusskih]

Great :)

window.project_file_name() (ST3) could be used to support relative paths like these in the project settings, but it's difficult to determine if the setting comes from the project file.

Here is what I have in mind (untested):

the_setting = "python_package_paths"

# Load some settings objs
prefs, vprefs = sublime.load_settings("Preferences.sublime-settings"), view.settings()

# Read the view's setting
view_paths = vprefs.get(the_setting)
vprefs.erase(the_setting)
view_paths_after = vprefs.get(the_setting)

# Analyze what we have
if view_paths_after != view_paths:
    # The setting is view-specific
    # Reset the erased setting
    vprefs.set(the_setting, view_paths)
    # ...
elif view_paths_after != prefs.get(the_setting):
    # The setting is project-specific
    pass
else:
    # The setting is global
    pass
