SublimeText3 Jedi autocomplete plugin does not recognize virtualenv Python path

I've installed and configured Jedi autocomplete v0.12.0 on Sublime Text 3 v3.1.1. In Jedi user settings, I've set python_interpreter to point to python version in virtualenvs. 

"python_interpreter": "/home/username/.virtualenvs/cv3/bin/python"

The problem is that in /dependencies/jedi/api/environment.py, the method _assert_safe does not recognize the virtualenv path as safe.

def _assert_safe(executable_path, safe):
    if safe and not _is_safe(executable_path):
        raise InvalidPythonEnvironment(
            "The python binary is potentially unsafe.")

The _assert_safe method calls the method def _is_safe(executable_path) which also returns false. The code in these two methods is pretty simple and I understand what is happening, I just don't see any solution. For testing purposes I added the virtualenv Python path to PYTHONPATH environment variable, it didn't make any difference.

Jedi checks if interpreters are safe. While it's perfectly reasonable for you to use whatever environment you want, it's a bit hard sometimes to argue if it's safe or not. You can just use create_environment(path, safe=False) when you use Jedi, but obviously this sublime plugin doesn't allow that (but maybe should?).

IMO a better solution would be to create venv's instead of virtualenvs. Those work better with Jedi, because they are not copying the whole Python binary (which does not make a lot of sense anyway). I'm not 100% sure this helps you, but it might help some other people.

The only solution I could find was to launch Sublime from terminal under the virtualenv. In terminal:

$ workon virtualenv_name
$ subl

Now _is_safe(executable_path) method can find virtualenv Python executable and returns True.
