dissert VS Rope

As a bit of a joke I wrote a library for this once

The big problem is that some people use assert wrong. There's a distinct time and place for asserts, and that's for testing purely internal logic. If you're testing anything that can be tainted with user data, that must be done with a conditional & exception.

Dissert saves the day! You can disable asserts on a per-file basis, and get that PYTHONOPTIMIZE experience with no loss of safety.

There's a hack for that (no apologies for the self promotion; this project is literally a joke)

Hi, maintainer of rope here. There are a number of different options to use rope in Vim/Neovim, we've documented them in this page https://github.com/python-rope/rope/wiki/Rope-in-Vim-or-Neovim

If you're looking for something with a bigger codebase, then the rope library in which pylsp-rope is based on is also welcoming of contributions.

I think rope is the standard for refactoring, and should provide autoimports soon, though pyright might also be good for that.

If you are interested in discussing this or have ideas you want to sketch out, meet me at rope's GitHub Discussion.

However, my biggest and most popular open source project is one that I don't originally write, but rather I inherited a popular project that has been abandoned by their original author/maintainers. I use Python a lot, so I wanted to contribute to the community in a significant way, so unlike my other projects I do take the time promoting this project as well. I felt it's more like a community service for this project.

I am the maintainer rope and pylsp-rope. They are libraries for automated Python refactoring and to do that from any LSP-capable editors. We are always welcoming contributors of all levels.

Rope has first class support for Vim and it can do a move refactoring, among other refactorings. From this, this feature is available from python-mode and ropevim.

Okay this depends: if your code is static: perfectly possible for example with https://github.com/python-rope/rope (used for example by VS Code). If it's dynamic / generated via metaprogramming: I never tried it but I can't imagine that it'd work there, yes. However java tooling also can't do that because it simply doesn't support metaprogramming in any noteworthy way.
