python-language-server VS vscode-python

Palantir's Python Language Server.

Some more details in issue #935.

As I understand, pyls (also know as python-language-server) is deprecated.

Python: pyls required. (pip install python-language-server)

PS. There's Python language server: https://github.com/palantir/python-language-server . I've not used it specifically, but I believe there is a way to request from it a list of unused variables / functions, so, maybe try that?

In my opinion, that time would be better spent contributing to existing open-source alternatives to extensions like Pylance (in order to make them as feature-complete), since they work with FOSS distributions of VSCode. Examples include palantir/python-language-server and python-lsp/python-lsp-server, both of which are compatible with VSCode through LSP, it's just that they're not as feature-complete as Pylance.

Kate (and a lot of other editors) now uses the Language Server Protocol for doing autocomplete. https://github.com/palantir/python-language-server is a Language Server which uses Jedi. Install that and enable the "LSP Client" plugin in Kate.

If you want interactive completion, install lsp-mode from the packages screen (M-x package-list-packages), and install a language server for each of the languages that you're interested in. For C and C++, I use ccls. For Python, I use python-language-server.

From doing a quick search I found https://github.com/palantir/python-language-server/issues/390, maybe it helps.

Ah, Chrome and slow spinners.

Python tests were taking ages on VSCode due to an SVG spinner:

It seems to be a problem caused by the new version of the Python extension. Here is a GitHub link for you to follow up.

For the python extension, please file your issue here: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python/issues

There seems to be a focus on feature velocity, and as the big parts start to stabilize (language server stuff, refactoring, extension framework, general UI/UX expectations), I hope we'll see some more attention paid to the default experience. But changing defaults in an ecosystem where users embrace configurability is tough, see the pythonPath fiasco, so I don't know the way forward. Core dev Brett Cannon seems to support the opinionated path for the VSCode Python experience going forward, so we'll see where that takes us.

I filed a GitHub report, you can always follow up.

Jedi said it had a fix on this post which links to this but isn't that just the Jedi source code showing fixes? The only reference I see in there is " Autocomplete inherited methods when overriding in child class ", but I just want it to autocomplete when typing a method from the parent class on a subclass instance.

If you still want to use python3.3.1 in vscode, you can submit a report on GitHub to consult the official staff.

It works fine on my machine after testing, can you provide your test code and show your personal settings(settings.json)? If you are convinced that this is a problem with python extensions, you can file a report on GitHub.

Does this help? Maybe you are opening the workspace at the wrong folder level?

Actually, it looks like it might be an issue with syntax highlighting ("Intellisense" in MS terminology) in Microsoft VS Code. Here is almost an identical post to mine in their forum.
