Why is Kite trying to access all of the folders on my machine?

When Kite starts, it indexes the .py files on your system so that it can have a ready-made code index to serve responses from. This is why on macOS, Kite will ask for access to certain folders on first startup.

There are some folders that Kite ignores, namely folders that usually contain private data. More info here: https://help.kite.com/article/97-adding-libraries-from-pytho...
