r/neovim on Reddit: Which python language server/lsp is better?
July 29, 2023 -

Hey guys! I am new to neovim and I'm really loving it. Today I was setting up lsp and I am stuck.

What python lsp would be better? As far as I know there are jedi, pyright, python-lsp-server.

There is [[https://www.reddit.com/r/neovim/comments/rjrytp/which_python_lsp_is_better/ | this]] but its quite old.

what python lsp and linter
I use pyright (is what the VSCode extension use and it's maintained by Microsoft) and pylint, my config for pylint with null-ls is this: local null_ls = require("null-ls") null_ls.setup({ sources = { null_ls.builtins.diagnostics.pylint.with({ diagnostic_config = { underline = false, virtual_text = false, signs = false }, method = null_ls.methods.DIAGNOSTICS_ON_SAVE, }), }, }) With this config I avoid the inline diagnostics, I like pylint, but some errors, warnings and hints aren't useful to me, they are too much noise in my editor, so I use trouble.nvim to watch them when I need to.

Which python lsp is better?
Pyright is written in NodeJS and its development seems less than open (see pull requests on the Github site). I have chosen PyLSP and it seems there is more fun around that (and I have contributed to the development of https://github.com/python-rope/pylsp-rope ). More on reddit.com

The underlying pylsp server will be installed inside a virtual environment created using a system-default Python interpreter (by default python on Windows and python3 on other platforms). If you want to, for example, develop code that requires a newer version of Python than the one installed by default, you can override the path to the Python interpreter (binary) by changing the python_binary setting. For example: // Settings in here override those in "LSP-pylsp/LSP-pylsp.sublime-settings" { "python_binary": "/opt/homebrew/bin/python3", }

I am the author of multilspy, which is a LSP client in Python, with a library interface and is intended to be used to build applications around language servers. It handles the configuration and initialization of different language servers, and offers a simple interface. It currently supports running Eclipse JDT.LS for Java, rust-analyzer for Rust, OmniSharp for C# and jedi-language-server for Python. You can install it using pip by running:

pip install multilspy

Example usage of multilspy:

from multilspy import SyncLanguageServer
from multilspy.multilspy_config import MultilspyConfig
from multilspy.multilspy_logger import MultilspyLogger
...
config = MultilspyConfig.from_dict({"code_language": "java"}) # Also supports "python", "rust", "csharp"
logger = MultilspyLogger()
lsp = SyncLanguageServer.create(config, logger, "/abs/path/to/project/root/")
with lsp.start_server():
    result = lsp.request_definition(
        "relative/path/to/code_file.java", # Filename of location where request is being made
        163, # line number of symbol for which request is being made
        4 # column number of symbol for which request is being made
    )
    result2 = lsp.request_completions(
        ...
    )
    result3 = lsp.request_references(

    )

I've discovered that, as of July 2023, there is a library named pygls (https://github.com/openlawlibrary/pygls) that is currently developing a usable client for the Language Server Protocol (LSP).

While we wait for the first official release, I've included it in my setup.py file under "install_requires". This ensures it will be automatically installed during the setup of my project. Here's how I modified the file:

install_requires=[
    'pygls @ git+https://github.com/openlawlibrary/pygls.git'
]

With this line of code, pygls will be directly fetched from the GitHub repository and installed into your environment.

However, we will try to use them if they are installed and we know about them (i.e. someone contributed a full specification). You can disable auto-detection by configuring autodetect · You can add another language server for languages that are not listed on this page: using a minimal JSON or Python configuration file (good for experimenting or configuring a niche server), or

Those options should all start with "pylsp." instead of "python." to be sent to python-lsp-server; it only sends the language server's own configuration and not other keys from settings.json.
