  • Why am I so terrible at Python?
    5 projects | /r/learnpython | 10 Jul 2022
    The way I work is to use an interactive IPython REPL. It has a lot of features to make interactive development comfortable. I solve a problem incrementally, attempting to get a little piece of code right many times, changing it a little each time to fix bugs. Then I go back and copypaste the lines into a file and tidy it up a little. Then I go back to IPython and solve the next little stage of the problem. Maybe this style of development will be more fitting for you?

    For this kind of thing I mostly use Jupyter and the IPython kernel, with data analysis packages like numpy and pandas and matplotlib for charts.

    Nice product, I noticed that you are updating the next Jupyter cell; what was your solution to doing that reliably since `set_next_input` is so damn flakey?

    I personally grew so frustrated with the state of GUI development in Jupyter that I tried to fix it in such a way that would allow proper message passing between cells and python code (because you can't wait on Comm events).

    But sadly the priorities of big open source projects don't always match your own. So I had to extract that logic into my own kernel.

  • Enhance Your Project Quality with These Top Python Libraries

    Pyright is a fast type checker meant for large Python source bases. It can run in a “watch” mode and performs fast incremental updates when files are modified.
  • How to speed up Pyright + eglot.
    1 project | /r/emacs | 11 Nov 2023
    However, I made it faster for my use-case by changing some settings. Neovim allows to have these settings in the setup function for LSP. I was trying to figure out how do I change these settings with doom emacs. Pyright docs suggest to have these settings in pyrightconfig.json.

  • How do you enable semantic highlighting for Python?
    4 projects | /r/neovim | 7 Jul 2023
    Unfortunately, pyright explicitly stated that they are not interested in inlay hints or other language server features, that those will only be added to pylance. That's why I added it myself instead of submitting a pull request to pyright. See https://github.com/microsoft/pyright/issues/4325

    I prefer jedi over pyright as pyright has crippled documentation support outside of VSCode. I also found jedi is make correct suggestions based on inferred type in some situations where pyright would need type annotation to provide completions, pyright is significantly faster though. Jedi with mypy and flake8 is comparable to pyright I think, but unfortunately mypy wasn't working over tramp. Also isort wasn't working over tramp, but jedi, black, importmagic and flake8 all worked.

What are some alternatives?
