HACK: append sys.path from other major python via subprocess #539
Conversation
This makes working with Python 2 and 3 in parallel less painfull. My use case is Jedi being used in Vim via YouCompleteMe, which only supports Python 2, but I'd like to use the completion also when editing Python 3 files.

Interesting, but this is really risky, because it can lead to segfaults. Jedi tries to import libraries like |
Is it possible to detect those somehow? On my system, PyQt4 is installed in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/PyQt4. |

I mean you could just create "ignore paths" for binaries. That would fix the issue. But at the same time, I don't like the approach in general too much. I would rather have an implementation of #385, to make it easy to switch Python versions. |

automatic close. cannot even reopen it haha. Is it ok to keep it closed? IMHO this is not the way to go, because it's really just a workaround for a problem that I would like to solve different. A patch I would accept would include something more like a fallback to just third party libraries, it would need a way to exclude all binary files. (or a different loading mechanism for binary files via multiprocessing). This is definitely something that would take a lot of time to implement. If you're interested, go on. Otherwise you think that someone else would implement this (or you yourself want to do it). I just don't think that I will do it. |
Yes. Thanks for your additional information and feedback! |

What do you think? Is this a approach in the right direction?
