Jedi is a static analysis library for Python focused on autocompletion, goto functionality, refactoring, and code search. It is typically embedded in IDEs and editor plugins, with a reference Vim plugin (jedi-vim) and use by many language servers.

Use cases

• python autocompletion in my editor
• go to definition for python code
• find all references to a python function
• static analysis and type inference for python
• refactor python code programmatically
• add code completion to a vim plugin
• build a python language server

When to choose

• you need a Python completion/static-analysis engine to embed in an editor plugin or tool
• you want a simple, well-tested Python API for goto, references, and refactoring
• you use Vim, Emacs, or a language server built on Jedi

When to avoid

• you want an actively developed successor - the author recommends Zuban, a Rust-based language server
• you need a full standalone IDE or LSP server out of the box
• you work in a language other than Python
