VIM: YCM and Pipenv

While writing another python script under pipenv I have met a problem that YCM autocomplete worked only for built in functions. That was annoying because without autocomplete YCM looses it’s sense.

Solution

Let’s create module for filetype plugin.

cat ~/.vim/after/ftplugin/python.vim

if !empty($VIRTUAL_ENV)
  let g:ycm_server_python_interpreter = $VIRTUAL_ENV . '/bin/python'
  let $PYTHONPATH = finddir('site-packages', $VIRTUAL_ENV . '/lib/*')
endif

Then you can simply run command

pipenv run vim some/script.py

And now YCM works correctly :3
