Autocomplete not finding modules in OSX

See original GitHub issue

Issue

in OSX El Capitan, pip is installing modules to /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/, my PYTHONPATH contains the following

justin@Justins-MacBook-Pro:~ $ python -c "import sys; print sys.path"
['', '/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.11/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python27.zip', '/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.11/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7', '/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.11/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/plat-darwin', '/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.11/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/plat-mac', '/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.11/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/plat-mac/lib-scriptpackages', '/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.11/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/lib-tk', '/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.11/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/lib-old', '/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.11/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload', '/Users/justin/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages', '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages', '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gtk-2.0', '/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages']

but autocomplete is not able to work on any modules inside this directory, but works fine for modules installed in /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages. Unsure why it can’t find the modules in that directory

@jlintz

I’m using this small script to detect system site-packages, virtualenv and modules inside current directory (using this script instead vim-virtualenv):

if has('python')
py << EOF
import os
import os.path, sys
import vim

if 'VIRTUAL_ENV' in os.environ:
    project_base_dir = os.environ['VIRTUAL_ENV']
    sys.path.insert(0, project_base_dir)
    activate_this = os.path.join(project_base_dir, 'bin/activate_this.py')
    execfile(activate_this, dict(__file__=activate_this))
    python_version = os.listdir(project_base_dir + '/lib')[0]

    site_packages = os.path.join(project_base_dir, 'lib', python_version, 'site-packages')
    current_directory = os.getcwd()

    sys.path.insert(1, site_packages)
    sys.path.insert(1, current_directory)
EOF
endif

(It works fine for me).

Example for activated virtualenv:

(:python import sys; print sys.path)

['/Users/aliev/Projects/dede/.env/lib/python2.7/site-packages', '/Users/aliev/Projects/dede', '/Users/aliev/Projects/dede/.env/lib/python2.7/site-packages', '/Users/aliev/Project
s/dede/.env', '/Users/aliev/Projects/sentry/src', '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python27.zip', '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/pyt
hon2.7', '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/plat-darwin', '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/plat-mac', '/Library/Fram
eworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/plat-mac/lib-scriptpackages', '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/lib-tk', '/Library/Frameworks/Py
thon.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/lib-old', '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload', '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/
2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages', '/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages', '_vim_path_']

Also try to install vim from the sources.

Ok. Now that virtualenv support is part of Jedi itself (and we merged it in jedi-vim), I feel like this is not an issue anymore. Please open a new issue if you are still having this (we have updated a lot of our debug scripts to help us with understanding your issues).
