Feature request: Auto-suggest to add missing import

[karthiknadig]

Provide a code action to add missing import.

Unfortunately, this feature is neither supported by Jedi at the present nor will it be supported in the near future (per @davidhalter 's comment on Dec 26, 2020). Please see: davidhalter/jedi-vim#736 (comment) . If it's super important, we can look into submitting a PR, but I'm guessing David hasn't found a way to provide the feature in an accurate, performant way, and he knows the Jedi codebase better than most humans.

Yeah, I'm sorry but this won't happen at least in the near future. Jedi's architecture is just not built for this...

I guess someone could built this theoretically in a manner similar to searching references, but it will just be pretty slow probably and I don't think that building a slow version of this is a good idea...

FYI, there is this: palantir/python-language-server#685

[karthiknadig]

I can understand that this might be something that will take a long time. We can close this for now, and revisit this some time in the future.

There is also rope

I successfully implemented "add imports" and a few other actions using rope for kakoune. See https://git.sr.ht/~dmerej/kak-rope
