About:
python-lsp-server (pylsp) is a language server implementation that provides IDE features for Python. It adheres to the Language Server Protocol (LSP), enabling rich code intelligence like auto-completion, linting, and formatting in any compatible editor. It acts as a unified backend, integrating various plugins such as Jedi, Pyflakes, and Black to enhance the development workflow.
Key Features:
  • LSP-compliant server for Python
  • Rich code intelligence (completion, hover, definitions)
  • Integrated linting and formatting support
  • Extensible architecture via plugins
Use Cases:
  • Enabling IDE features in lightweight text editors
  • Standardizing Python development tooling across teams
  • Automated code analysis and error checking
Alternatives:
  • pyright – Microsoft's static type checker; generally faster but heavier on resources
  • jedi-language-server – Focuses specifically on Jedi for completion and analysis
