A language server for Jedi!

Project description

jedi-language-server

image-version image-license image-python-versions image-pypi-downloads github-action-testing

A Language Server for the latest version(s) of Jedi. If using Neovim/Vim, we recommend using with coc-jedi. Supports Python versions 3.6 and newer.

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

Installation

Some frameworks, like coc-jedi and vscode-python, will install and manage jedi-language-server for you. If you're setting up manually, you can run the following from your command line (bash / zsh):

pip install -U jedi-language-server

Alternatively (and preferably), use pipx to keep jedi-language-server and its dependencies 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 Jedi's capabilities and expose them through the Language Server Protocol. It supports the following Language Server capabilities:

Language Features

Text Synchronization (for diagnostics)

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:

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:

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

jedi-language-server can be run directly from the command line.

$ jedi-language-server --help
usage: jedi-language-server [-h] [--version] [--tcp] [--ws] [--host HOST] [--port PORT] [--log-file LOG_FILE] [-v]

Jedi language server: an LSP wrapper for jedi.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help           show this help message and exit
  --version            display version information and exit
  --tcp                use TCP web server instead of stdio
  --ws                 use web socket server instead of stdio
  --host HOST          host for web server (default 127.0.0.1)
  --port PORT          port for web server (default 2087)
  --log-file LOG_FILE  redirect logs to file specified
  -v, --verbose        increase verbosity of log output

Examples:

    Run over stdio     : jedi-language-server
    Run over tcp       : jedi-language-server --tcp
    Run over websockets:
        # only need to pip install once per env
        pip install pygls[ws]
        jedi-language-server --ws

Notes:

    For use with web sockets, user must first run
    'pip install pygls[ws]' to install the correct
    version of the websockets library.

If testing sending requests over stdio manually from the command line, you must include Windows-style line endings: \r\n . For an example, from within this project, run the following:

If testing interactively, be sure to manually insert carriage returns. Although this may differ between shell environments, within most bash terminals, you can explicitly insert the required line endings by typing <C-v><C-m>, which will insert a ^M. See:

Configuration

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

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

{
  "initializationOptions": {
    "codeAction": {
      "nameExtractVariable": "jls_extract_var",
      "nameExtractFunction": "jls_extract_def"
    },
    "completion": {
      "disableSnippets": false,
      "resolveEagerly": false
    },
    "diagnostics": {
      "enable": true,
      "didOpen": true,
      "didChange": true,
      "didSave": true
    },
    "hover": {
      "enable": true,
      "disable": {
        "class": { "all": false, "names": [], "fullNames": [] },
        "function": { "all": false, "names": [], "fullNames": [] },
        "instance": { "all": false, "names": [], "fullNames": [] },
        "keyword": { "all": false, "names": [], "fullNames": [] },
        "module": { "all": false, "names": [], "fullNames": [] },
        "param": { "all": false, "names": [], "fullNames": [] },
        "path": { "all": false, "names": [], "fullNames": [] },
        "property": { "all": false, "names": [], "fullNames": [] },
        "statement": { "all": false, "names": [], "fullNames": [] }
      }
    },
    "jediSettings": {
      "autoImportModules": [],
      "caseInsensitiveCompletion": true,
      "debug": false
    },
    "markupKindPreferred": "markdown",
    "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. In fact, for consistency's sake, many of python-language-server's CLI options are used as-is in jedi-language-server.

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 static analysis / completion / refactoring 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!
