Strangely, cannot recognize function with type hinting.

My emacs cannot understand functions with type hinting. After a lot of troubleshooting, I found out that it was a problem with jedi. I am not sure what's wrong with it, due to everything works well on another machine.

The test source string:

"""def with_hints(a: int, b: int) -> None:
    return None


def without_hints(a, b):
    return None


with"""

On my macOS:

On my Gentoo:

You can easily found out <Completion: with_hints> is missing on macOS.

Can you try with non-Python3.7? It's not yet supported. Your only Python on Mac might be 2.7 and 3.7, which then makes Jedi choose Python 2.7, because it doesn't work with 3.7, yet.

Hi, here is the result:

The built-in python2.7:

(btw, I am on macOS Mojave.)

λ /usr/bin/python

... with"""
>>> a = jedi.Script(source=sss, column=4, line=9)
>>> a.completions()
[<Completion: with>, <Completion: without_hints>]

python2.7 from homebrew:

>>>

[<Completion: with>, <Completion: without_hints>]

pyenv python3.6.6 works.

The point is that in Python2.7 it will never work (because it doesn't support type hints). In Python 3.6 it works and in 3.7 it won't, because it's not supported yet.

Please watch #1096 to wait for 3.7 support.

Thank you!
