Elpy VS buffer-env

If you want to stick with Elpy, I'd suggest side-stepping the RealPython tutorial and diving in to Elpy's documentation directly. But keep in mind that the project has been looking for a new maintainer since March of 2021.

Elpy allows to do that with its folding module.

you can use elpy for that its not lsp but it might be faster than pyright.

The last commit in https://github.com/jorgenschaefer/elpy master was 16 days ago, so it seems yes.

And I'm using Elpy on Emacs. It works like a charm, which provides (quote from it README): - Code completion - Code Navigation - Interactive evaluation and interactive Python shell - On-the-fly syntax checking - Access to documentation

This is one of the (minor) reasons I abandoned anaconda-mode (default for Doom) for elpy. You can do the same with this snippet in your packages.el lisp (package! anaconda-mode :ignore t) (package! elpy :recipe (:host github :repo "jorgenschaefer/elpy") :pin "2203597") ;; Commit date 2021/3/28 Anaconda is lightweight by comparison. Elpy is also a python package that needs to be installed. Read their docs before using. https://github.com/jorgenschaefer/elpy

I (current maintainer of Elpy) am not able to properly maintain the project anymore.

For python development, I use https://github.com/jorgenschaefer/elpy (Elpy is an Emacs package to bring powerful Python editing to Emacs. It combines and configures a number of other packages, both written in Emacs Lisp as well as Python.)

buffer-env: A pure-Elisp version of the direnv utility. Useful to make Emacs aware of Python virtualenvs (which, judging by the questions posted here, is unfortunately still a complication for a lot of people). Similar to (and inspired by) envrc, but doesn't require the direnv program.

If you are interested in a “direnv but in Elisp”, you may want to check out this package: https://github.com/astoff/buffer-env.

buffer-env or envrc for virtual environment integration.
