jedi-language-server 0.27.1

A language server for Jedi!

jedi-language-server

A Language Server for the latest version(s) of Jedi. If using Neovim/Vim, we recommend using with coc-jedi.

Note: this tool is actively used by its primary author. He's happy to review pull requests / respond to issues you may discover.

Installation

From your command line (bash / zsh), run:

pip install -U jedi-language-server

-U ensures that you're pulling the latest version from pypi.

Alternatively, consider using pipx to keep jedi-language-server isolated from your other Python dependencies. Don't worry, jedi is smart enough to figure out which Virtual environment you're currently using!

Capabilities

jedi-language-server aims to support all of Jedi's capabilities and expose them through the Language Server Protocol. It currently supports the following Language Server capabilities:

Language Features

• completionItem/resolve
• textDocument/codeAction (refactor.inline, refactor.extract)
• textDocument/completion
• textDocument/definition
• textDocument/documentHighlight
• textDocument/documentSymbol
• textDocument/hover
• textDocument/publishDiagnostics
• textDocument/references
• textDocument/rename
• textDocument/signatureHelp
• workspace/symbol

Text Synchronization (for diagnostics)

• textDocument/didChange
• textDocument/didOpen
• textDocument/didSave

Editor Setup

The following instructions show how to use jedi-language-server with your development tooling. The instructions assume you have already installed jedi-language-server.

Vim / Neovim

Users may choose 1 of the following options:

• coc.nvim with coc-jedi.
• ALE.
• Neovim's native LSP client. See here for an example configuration.
• vim-lsp.

Note: this list is non-exhaustive. If you know of a great choice not included in this list, please submit a PR!

Emacs

Users may choose 1 of the following options:

• lsp-jedi.

Note: this list is non-exhaustive. If you know of a great choice not included in this list, please submit a PR!

Visual Studio Code (vscode)

With this release there is a new setting for python.languageServer to use jedi-language-server: set python.languageServer to JediLSP.

Note: this is experimental and uses an older version (for now) to support python 2.7.

See: https://github.com/pappasam/jedi-language-server/issues/50#issuecomment-781101169

Command line (bash / zsh)

At your terminal prompt:

jedi-language-server

jedi-language-server currently works only over IO. This may change in the future.

Configuration

We recommend using coc-jedi and following its configuration instructions.

If you are configuring manually, jedi-language-server supports the following initializationOptions:

{
  "initializationOptions": {
    "markupKindPreferred": null,
    "jediSettings": {
      "autoImportModules": [],
      "caseInsensitiveCompletion": true
    },
    "completion": {
      "disableSnippets": false,
      "resolveEagerly": false
    },
    "diagnostics": {
      "enable": true,
      "didOpen": true,
      "didChange": true,
      "didSave": true
    },
    "workspace": {
      "extraPaths": [],
      "symbols": {
        "ignoreFolders": [".nox", ".tox", ".venv", "__pycache__", "venv"],
        "maxSymbols": 20
      }
    }
  }
}

See coc-jedi's configuration instructions for an explanation of the above configurations.

Additional Diagnostics

jedi-langugage-server provides diagnostics about syntax errors, powered by Jedi. If you would like additional diagnostics, we suggest using the powerful diagnostic-language-server.

Code Formatting

Again, we recommend that you use diagnostic-language-server. It also supports code formatting.

Inspiration

Palantir's python-language-server inspired this project. Unlike python-language-server, jedi-language-server:

• Uses pygls instead of creating its own low-level Language Server Protocol bindings
• Supports one powerful 3rd party library: Jedi. By only supporting Jedi, we can focus on supporting all Jedi features without exposing ourselves to too many broken 3rd party dependencies (I'm looking at you, rope).
• Is supremely simple because of its scope constraints. Leave complexity to the Jedi master. If the force is strong with you, please submit a PR!
