Last jedi release (0.18.0) is incompatible with ipython (7.19 and 7.18 tested); reason - column arg was deprecated, and now removed

Relevant traceback reads as follows:

  File "../venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/IPython/core/completer.py", line 2029, in _complete
    completions = self._jedi_matches(

    super().__init__(code, environment=environment,

same reported in jedi repo too

As a temporary fix for anyone just trying to get things working again:

pip install jedi==0.17.2

---

It would be really nice if you could quickly release a 7.19.1. (It’s already fixed on master).

Sorry for that. I did not realize that IPython with that fix was not released yet. I usually test IPython completions before doing a Jedi release, but not this time 😕. It will probably also not happen in the future anymore, because I’m going to release Jedi 1.0 soon, so this is probably the last time for a long time that you have to deal with deprecations in Jedi.

Still wish you a Merry Christmas!

Because people at this point probably don’t scroll up to my comment (https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/12740#issuecomment-751273584), this is what you should do temporarily:

pip install jedi==0.17.2
