Wrong relative imports in unit tests with parallel hierarchy

See original GitHub issue

I’m having a problem similar to https://github.com/davidhalter/jedi-vim/issues/195, here is a step by step procedure to reproduce the issue:

mkdir /tmp/proj
cd /tmp/proj
mkdir pkg
touch pkg/__init__.py
touch pkg/mod.py
mkdir tests
touch tests/__init__.py
mkdir tests/pkg
touch tests/pkg/__init__.py
touch tests/pkg/test_mod.py
export PYTHONPATH=/tmp/proj:$PYTHONPATH
vim tests/pkg/test_mod.py

Now try to autocomplete import pkg., jedi will suggest only test_mod, which is wrong given the PYTHONPATH, and won’t suggest mod, which is also wrong.

Now, if you edit pkg/mod.py instead, import pkg. will correctly suggest mod. It is as if the file being edited is influencing jedi’s notion of the python path.

Setting PYTHONPATH is not respected in VIMs Python. We could potentially do that in jedi-vim. What do you think @blueyed ?

Latest Jedi is way way smarter about this stuff and thanks to your reproduction case I was able to see that this has been solved.
