Autocomplete doesn't work for Gtk+ 3 #582
Description
Environment data
VS Code version: Code 1.19.1 (0759f77bb8d86658bc935a10a64f6182c5a1eeba, 2017-12-19T09:46:23.884Z)
Python Extension version: 0.9.1
Python Version: 2.7.14
OS and version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.16299
Actual behavior
Autocomplete doesn't work for Gtk+ 3 library. It does work for all other libraries I have tried in the past. It also works for pygtk (gtk 2.x). Even in the given script, it works with gi but doesn't work with Gtk. It shows all the member functions and variables for gi, auto completion only shows suggestions based on used keywords and no member functions.
Is this related to the Gobject and introspection ?
Expected behavior
Autocomplete should show member functions
Steps to reproduce:
- Install x86 Python 2.7
- Install Pygobject and Gtk+ from precompiled binaries for windows (https://sourceforge.net/projects/pygobjectwin32/)
- Run the following script
- Try to autocomplete Gtk.
import gi
gi.require_version('Gtk', '3.0')
from gi.repository import Gtk
win = Gtk.
Logs
Output from Python output panel
Output from Console window (Help->Developer Tools menu)
Kudos on the awesome extension BTW ;)
Cheers

I have the same problem. But I can see something in the module
gi, can not see the thing in thegi.repository(usefrom gi.repository import ...). And I see there is only a__inty__.pyand__pycache__folder in my folder/usr/lib/python3.6/site-package/gi/repository,maybe the extension can not load the information from the pycache?The other thing I see it's the linting is ok, I get error when I type the wrong function name in the
gi.repository(But I don't know why, i just get an message that show me there is no function named "xxx".)My code version is 1.19.2 and the python version is 3.6.4. Os is linux
My console window is also nothing.

Does this plugin support PEP 484 stub files? There was some discussion on the python+gtk site to look into supporting that: pygobject/pgi-docgen#79 (comment)

SakuraLife the
__pycache__is just the cache of.pycfiles and is only used when there's a corresponding.pyfile, so it plays no part in intellisense.Christoph Reiter (@lazka) davidhalter/jedi#839 suggests that Jedi doesn't have support yet for
.pyifiles.pavan-inferno commentedon Jan 18, 2018
Should have seen this earlier. Its a jedi issue.
davidhalter/jedi#531
It doesn't support gobject introspection modules (Gtk 3 is one). I wanted to know if the source of jedi used by the extension is patched to resolve this issue. And also the suggested monkey patch in the above link doesn't work for me.
brettcannon commentedon Jan 18, 2018
We don't patch Jedi ATM, but Mikhail Arkhipov (@MikhailArkhipov) is collecting known issues with Jedi in hopes that we can resolve them eventually.

Thanks brett !
I have another question.
Can I use
python.jediPathto try monkey patching it ?brettcannon commentedon Jan 18, 2018
Pavan Nuthi (@pavan-inferno) I believe so, yes.
MikhailArkhipov commentedon Feb 17, 2018
We integrated Jedi 0.11, could you try insiders build please

For anyone interested, work is now being done on davidhalter/jedi#839 !

Has anyone tried this with the Python language server? Admittedly I don't write much Python anymore. Not sure if the language server makes use of Jedi or not.
brettcannon commentedon May 10, 2019
Tristan Partin (@tristan957) the language server does not use Jedi.
tristan957 commentedon May 11, 2019
Brett Cannon (@brettcannon) I am aware. I was meaning that "has someone tried writing PyGObject using the language server instead of the Jedi-based completions".
fredrikaverpil commentedon May 24, 2019
Brett Cannon (@brettcannon) Mikhail Arkhipov (@MikhailArkhipov) jedi now has stubs support in the master branch.

Closing as this is an upstream issue which we don't have direct control or influence over.
