Identifying Bugs Before Runtime With Jedi

Explore how to identify bugs in Python code before runtime using Jedi, an advanced autocompletion library, in this 25-minute EuroPython Conference talk. Discover Jedi's capabilities in understanding Python's dynamic features and its potential to redefine autocompletion boundaries in dynamic languages. Learn about the future of dynamic analysis and how Jedi aims to create a "compiler" that reports additional bugs without executing code. Gain insights into improving Python development by finding AttributeErrors and similar issues early. Examine topics such as Python string objects, parsers, lists, sets, static analysis, and linters. Compare Jedi's approach to traditional static analysis tools and understand its advantages in enhancing Python's bug detection capabilities.
