Elpy VS eslint-flymake

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.)

> Why wouldn't you want the lint error to be highlighted right as you type the code?

Why do you think you need to involve an LSP for that?. ESLint, as most linters, can take their input from stdin. That is exactly how the eslint-flymake[0] works. Lint on buffer contents, not file on disk. No JSON RPC involved.

Why would there be a canonical list given the fact that anyone can publish a package outside of Emacs core? Who would be in charge of maintaining it? From what I've seen there isn't many backends for the new API but writing your own is straightforward https://github.com/emacs-pe/eslint-flymake. Which languages/linters do you care about?
