In neovim ,how to do refactoring python code?
5 projects | /r/neovim | 20 Apr 2023

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
Open Source Python libraries/projects that need contributions?
5 projects | /r/Python | 11 Dec 2022

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.
Completion and auto imports
3 projects | /r/neovim | 8 Dec 2022

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

What motivates you writing open source software?
2 projects | /r/opensource | 30 Sep 2022

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.
What are some interesting open source projects to contribute code to?
6 projects | /r/opensource | 22 Sep 2022

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.
Why IDEs are Important
2 projects | /r/vim | 11 Sep 2022

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.

Why did you switch from another language to Rust? Do you regret not learning it earlier?
9 projects | /r/rust | 25 Jul 2022

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.
