Answer 1

Old question, but I've found an alternative to amending sys.path if you are using virtual environments.

You can instead create a .pth (https://docs.python.org/2/library/site.html) file in your /lib//site-packages folder that points to the root of your source e.g. if my source was in /user/123/python-proj/source folder and my virtual env was in the /user/123/python-proj/venv folder

echo '/user/123/python-proj/source > /user/123/python-proj/venv/lib/python3.5/site-packages/my-source.pth'

Make sure you activate the virtual env first, then launch vim and jedi should be able to find your code.
