Jedi-vim not working, thinks Jedi is not installed

[mattrbrousseau]

Issue

Hi there, I've tried for a while to get this working and have gone through a number of solutions that I have found that have worked for others. However, whenever I try and run vim with jedi-vim installed I get:

Please install Jedi if you want to use jedi-vim.
The error was: /home/USER/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/lib-dynload/_posixsubprocess.cpython-36m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so: undefined symbol: _Py_write_noraise
Please install Jedi if you want to use jedi-vim.
The error was: /home/USER/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/lib-dynload/_posixsubprocess.cpython-36m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so: undefined symbol: _Py_write_noraise

Steps to reproduce

Open a .py file with vim

Problem is this: The error was: /home/mattrbrousseau/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/lib-dynload/_posixsubprocess.cpython-36m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so: undefined symbol: _Py_write_noraise

No idea where that comes from. Maybe an anaconda issue?

Does python3.6 -c 'import jedi' work on your system?

[mattrbrousseau]

It does work, yes...

I was wondering if it were an anaconda issue but I'm not sure why that's happening

[davidhalter]

Can you do something like jedi.Script('str').goto_definitions()? Does that also work?

[mattrbrousseau]

So I started Python, imported jedi, ran that line and got:

[<Definition class str>]

[davidhalter]

I'm pretty sure that this is an issue that we were already having and related to environments. We're trying to fix it in davidhalter/jedi#1108 and davidhalter/jedi#1124. Just give us some time.

[blueyed]

1. Does :py3 print(1) work in Vim?
2. If so, does :py3 import jedi work? (it likely won't work I guess, since that is what :JediDebugInfo does basically.)

If 1. fails already then there is an issue with your Vim's Python 3.
If so, does :py print(1) work?

[mattrbrousseau]

:py3 print(1) prints 1 as it should. I receive the same error from :py3 import jedi however.

[mattrbrousseau]

[davidhalter]

Does :py3 import subprocess work in Vim?

[mattrbrousseau]

That does not work, no. I get the same _Py_write_noraise error.

[davidhalter]

What is python3.6 -c 'import sys; print(sys.executable)'?

It clearly feels like something in your Python environment is broken. This is definitely not a jedi issue if you cannot load subprocess. I'll close the ticket, because it's not an issue on our side, but I'll happily keep assisting you in finding a solution. Please just keep writing.

[mattrbrousseau]

I really appreciate this, thank you.

When I enter the command I get: /home/mattrbrousseau/anaconda3/bin/python3.6

[davidhalter]

And in that environment you can import subprocess? It's strange that it's not working in VIM.

[mattrbrousseau]

I can, yes. It's incredibly bizarre as it's the only python environment I have installed and I have no issues with anything except for Jedi...
