AI interpretation — verify before relying

AI-generated interpretation of the package facts above; every digit, version, license, or vulnerability id it cites is grounded in the facts already shown on this page

Jedi is a static analysis library for Python that provides autocompletion, goto-definition, refactoring, and code search capabilities, typically integrated into IDEs and editors.

Low install friction with a single pure-Python dependency (parso). Active maintenance with the latest release 104 days ago and continuous repository activity; the project remains well-maintained despite the author's note about a Rust successor.

MIT license permits unrestricted commercial and private use with minimal obligations—only attribution is required.

Usage

pip install jedi
import jedi
script = jedi.Script('import os\nos.')
completions = script.complete(2, 3)
for c in completions:
    print(c.name)

Requires Python 3.10 or later.

Verdict: Jedi is a mature, well-maintained static analysis library with low install friction and permissive licensing, making it suitable for IDE plugins and editor integrations. No known vulnerabilities and active development support current Python versions.
