Can Jedi provide location-based context information?

[fyncor]

Hi,

I'd like to write a Vim plugin that can take a position in a source file, and returns its context.

For example, it will take (32, 47, 'foo.py'), and line column 47 in line 32 of foo.py is inside the method "bar()"of class "Qux", return something like "Qux.bar()".

What support does Jedi offer for that kind of functionality?

I don't think there is API for that. What you can do is to call defined_names (http://jedi.jedidjah.ch/en/latest/docs/plugin-api.html#api.defined_names) and search for the range in which the current point is. It's not ideal, though. I think adding an API for this would be nice.

👍 API would be nice. Something like jedi.Script.context. -> jedi.Script.context().qualified_name

This is finally possible with the Script().get_context(line, column) call. It will be nice to do stuff like "where am I exactly" and basically show the user a Definition.full_name`.
