How to prevent over-eager Jedi autocompletion in Vim

I use Vim and Jedi to code Python and the autocompletion fails to detect some member objects with the recordclass and argparse packages and makes over-eager suggestions.

Consider this case:

from recordclass import recodclass

class Foo(recordclass('Foo', ['bar', 'bar2', 'bar3'])):
    def __str__(self):
        return 'custom string'

x = Foo()

Now, typing x. automatically inserts x.__str__, even if bar, bar2, and bar3 are possible options.

A similar thing happens here:

from argparse import ArgumentParser
ap = ArgumentParser()
ap.add_argument('-x', '--some-var', type=str)
args = ap.parse_args()

Now, typing args. inserts args._, even if args.some_var is a valid member.

Can I get Jedi to recognize all members or at least make it not insert the "unambiguous" characters (__str__ and _) automaticaly?

I use the addon deoplete instead due to issues like this. It's autocomplete stays out of the way most of time. – ApolloFortyNine Sep 26 '16 at 15:43

Have you tried to use `:set completeopt -= "longest"`? – Dave Halter Sep 26 '16 at 23:16
@ApolloFortyNine: thanks, I'll give it a try. – Tuetschek Sep 27 '16 at 08:30
@DaveHalter: thank you, that is a good workaround (it makes it a bit slower when the autocomplete function works correctly, though) – Tuetschek Sep 27 '16 at 08:33
