A Python 2.7 and 3.5+ implementation of the `Language Server Protocol`_.



Installation

------------



The base language server requires Jedi_ to provide Completions, Definitions, Hover, References, Signature Help, and

Symbols:



``pip install python-language-server``



If the respective dependencies are found, the following optional providers will be enabled:



* Rope_ for Completions and renaming

* Pyflakes_ linter to detect various errors

* McCabe_ linter for complexity checking

* pycodestyle_ linter for style checking

* pydocstyle_ linter for docstring style checking (disabled by default)

* autopep8_ for code formatting

* YAPF_ for code formatting (preferred over autopep8)



Optional providers can be installed using the `extras` syntax. To install YAPF_ formatting for example:



``pip install 'python-language-server[yapf]'``



All optional providers can be installed using:



``pip install 'python-language-server[all]'``



If you get an error similar to ``'install_requires' must be a string or list of strings`` then please upgrade setuptools before trying again. 



``pip install -U setuptools``



3rd Party Plugins

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Installing these plugins will add extra functionality to the language server:



* pyls-mypy_ Mypy type checking for Python 3

* pyls-isort_ Isort import sort code formatting

* pyls-black_ for code formatting using Black_



Please see the above repositories for examples on how to write plugins for the Python Language Server. Please file an

issue if you require assistance writing a plugin.



Configuration

-------------



Configuration is loaded from zero or more configuration sources. Currently implemented are:



* pycodestyle: discovered in ~/.config/pycodestyle, setup.cfg, tox.ini and pycodestyle.cfg.

* flake8: discovered in ~/.config/flake8, setup.cfg, tox.ini and flake8.cfg



The default configuration source is pycodestyle. Change the `pyls.configurationSources` setting to `['flake8']` in

order to respect flake8 configuration instead.



Overall configuration is computed first from user configuration (in home directory), overridden by configuration

passed in by the language client, and then overriden by configuration discovered in the workspace.



To enable pydocstyle for linting docstrings add the following setting in your LSP configuration:

```

"pyls.plugins.pydocstyle.enabled": true

```



See `vscode-client/package.json`_ for the full set of supported configuration options.

Development

-----------



To run the test suite:



``pip install .[test] && pytest``



Develop against VS Code

=======================



The Python language server can be developed against a local instance of Visual Studio Code.



Install `VSCode `_



.. code-block:: bash



    # Setup a virtual env

    virtualenv env

    . env/bin/activate



    # Install pyls

    pip install .



    # Install the vscode-client extension

    cd vscode-client

    yarn install



    # Run VSCode which is configured to use pyls

    # See the bottom of vscode-client/src/extension.ts for info

    yarn run vscode -- $PWD/../



Then to debug, click View -> Output and in the dropdown will be pyls.

To refresh VSCode, press `Cmd + r`
