Auto import modules with emacs-jedi

Question

With ropemacs you can do something like this:

M-x rope-auto-import

This analyze the code (I presume) and imports missing modules, for example if I write:

datetime.now()

it should do the import for me by add this line:

from datetime import datetime

(it always uses the from ... import ... form)

Is there a similar function in emacs-jedi?

It might help if you explained what `rope-auto-import` does. — ChrisGPT was on strike, Jun 10 '14 at 17:06
Some info here can be useful, about python-mode or a code snippet that uses `py-isort`: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3838515/auto-include-python-import-statements-in-vim-emacs Nothing's perfect though. — Ehvince, Jun 11 '14 at 08:05

Jedi doesn't support auto imports, yet. (And therefore obviously emacs-jedi does neither)

There are discussions ongoing to implement refactorings as well (which includes auto imports). However, it will probably take another year or so.

It's now 8 years later. Did this discussion go anywhere? – Troy Daniels Oct 07 '22 at 17:42

If we ignore the jedi part and pay attention to the emacs part you could use the follow command after installing autoimport.

(defun my-python-autoimports ()
  (interactive)
  (save-buffer)
  (shell-command (s-concat "autoimport " (shell-quote-argument (buffer-file-name))))
  (revert-buffer t t))
