Jedi-vim: Error for py files: `Please install Jedi if you want to use jedi-vim.`

[robbyki]

Installed jedi-vim including Jedi using git submodule update --init from within repo after cloning with clone --recursive but still unable to get vim to detect jedi-vim whenever I try and open a python file.

You need to provide more information. E.g., which version of (Neo)Vim are you using?

[robbyki]

Using vim 7.4 on Mac built from source with binary located in /use/local/bin compiled with python3 and with anaconda Python.

[blueyed]

What is your output of :ver?
Does :py3 print(1) work?
Does :py print(1) work?
Try poking at the import handling (https://github.com/davidhalter/jedi-vim/blob/d634eb8a923f66b336f7af1a52a78bc8d77c0b6d/jedi_vim.py#L89) to see what the ImportError is about.

[blueyed]

I've created #461, which might provide additional information for cases like this.

[acganesh]

I had the same issue. In my case (which may be different), the problem was that I had multiple installations of Python, and vim was detecting the wrong version.

I was able to fix this on OS X 10.10 by recompiling macvim and explicitly declaring the vi_cv_path_python variable, which specifies the path to the correct Python binary.

vi_cv_path_python=/usr/local/bin/python \
./configure --with-features=huge  --enable-rubyinterp \
                  --enable-pythoninterp \
                  --enable-perlinterp \
                  --enable-cscope

Hope this helps someone.

@robbyki
Closing this because of missing feedback. It is likely a configuration issue on your side.

Please re-open or state that it should be re-opened, when you can provide more insight. Thanks.

[robbyki]

Sorry for the delay. Had the chance to pick this up again. Decided to try out a clean install vim latest vim. (see ver: below) and also testing out with latest python 3.5. Everything with vim compiled correctly and I installed jedi-vim using pathogen and I have it in my .vim/bundle directory. And I also successfully installed jedi with pip. Still getting this message:

``````

Is there more information from the Python traceback?
Does :py3 import jedi work in Vim?

[robbyki]

@robbyki
Seems like you have two incompatible Python versions, too. See https://github.com/davidhalter/jedi-vim/issues/460#issuecomment-139830360.
Also https://github.com/davidhalter/jedi-vim/issues/460#issuecomment-138539605.

[robbyki]

Almost at the point of losing my mind troubleshooting this. I have a fully clean single anaconda python interpreter now. Every single thing is working as expected but something is very wrong with my vim and python link. I can fire up vim and then when I type :py3 import sys; print(sys.version) I get a nasty crash like Vim: Caught deadly signal ABRT *** glibc detected *** /usr/local/bin/vim: corrupted double-linked list: This is obviously not related to jedi-vim so thanks alot for the help and you could go ahead and close again.

[blueyed]

ok, closing. As said, maybe the method from @acganesh helps?

[melta]

I have exact the same issue with my python 3.5.1. Did you figure out what was wrong?

[davidhalter]

Jedi doesn't even support Python 3.5 yet, so I'm not sure if we can help you.

[melta]

OK, thank you for your time!

[xiaobocser]

trust me, this command will work.
brew install vim --with-lua

[macgruber99]

As I'm finding out, once you start using brew, you have to stick with it.
