Jedi: Zipped Eggs support for autocompletion

Environment data

• VS Code version: 1.26.1
• Extension version (available under the Extensions sidebar): 2018.7.1
• OS and version: CentOS 7
• Python version (& distribution if applicable, e.g. Anaconda): 2.7.14
• Type of virtual environment used (N/A | venv | virtualenv | conda | …): virtualenv

Actual behavior

Autocompletion for external python zipped eggs packages doesn’t work.

Expected behavior

This is more of a question actually (question asked on SO): is autocompletion expected to work with python eggs packages?

Steps to reproduce:

The eggs are not part of the workspace folder and are added via the “python.autoComplete.extraPaths” setting:

{
  "python.autoComplete.extraPaths": ["/eggs/mypackage-0.1-py2.7.egg"]
}

(mypackage-0.1-py2.7.egg would be a zip file) Try to autocomplete modules part of the referenced eggs.

@fabal this would be an enhancement request for Jedi which you can make at https://github.com/davidhalter/jedi/issues .
