A little history
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
The Star Wars Jedi are awesome. My Jedi software tries to imitate a little bit
|
|
of the precognition the Jedi have. There's even an awesome `scene
|
|
<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BDO3pyavOY>`_ of Monty Python Jedis :-).
|
|
|
|
But actually the name hasn't so much to do with Star Wars. It's part of my
|
|
second name.
|
|
|
|
After I explained Guido van Rossum, how some parts of my auto-completion work,
|
|
he said (we drank a beer or two):
|
|
|
|
*"Oh, that worries me..."*
|
|
|
|
When it's finished, I hope he'll like it :-)
|
|
|
|
I actually started Jedi, because there were no good solutions available for VIM.
|
|
Most auto-completions just didn't work well. The only good solution was PyCharm.
|
|
But I like my good old VIM. Rope was never really intended to be an
|
|
auto-completion (and also I really hate project folders for my Python scripts).
|
|
It's more of a refactoring suite. So I decided to do my own version of a
|
|
completion, which would execute non-dangerous code. But I soon realized, that
|
|
this wouldn't work. So I built an extremely recursive thing which understands
|
|
many of Python's key features.
|
|
|
|
By the way, I really tried to program it as understandable as possible. But I
|
|
think understanding it might need quite some time, because of its recursive
|
|
nature.
