Since commit 99051b4 (where missing stubs were added to the setup config) jedi does not find completions/docstrings for some numpy functions (e.g. linspace). This causes LSP servers like pyls and other completion/information sources based on jedi to stop working for these functions.

I am not sure if this is a numpy problem or a jedi problem, but since the behaviour is consistent between jedi versions, but not between numpy versions, I have reported it here first.

List of all symbols (modules/objects/functions/variables) that stopped producing help/completion results after 99051b4: missing_symbols.txt

Reproducing code example:

from jedi import Script
s = Script("""
import numpy as np
np.linspace()
""")
result = s.help(3, 10)
if result:
    print(result[0].docstring())
else:
    print("No help found")

Prints the linspace docstring until commit 99051b4 and prints "No help found" from from then on.
