basedpy2right 1.39.9.24

Static type checking and language server for Python 2.7 — an unofficial py2 fork of basedpyright (the tool runs on Python 3.8+; it type-checks and provides IDE features for Python 2 code).

basedpy2right

Static type checking and a Language Server (LSP) for Python 2.7 — an unofficial "necromancy" fork of basedpyright that teaches the analyzer Python 2's grammar (print statements, old-style classes, StringIO/ConfigParser/… stdlib) and ships a bundled Python-2.7 typeshed so a 2.7 codebase gets modern editor tooling today.

The distribution is named basedpy2right, but the console scripts are deliberately left as basedpyright / basedpyright-langserver so the stock basedpyright VS Code extension drives this fork with no extra configuration.

Install

pip install basedpy2right

This pulls nodejs-wheel-binaries (the tool runs a bundled JS analyzer under a managed Node runtime — no global Node install is added to your PATH).

Quick usage

Command line (point it at your Python 2.7 interpreter):

basedpyright --pythonversion 2.7 your_module.py
# or, to resolve installed 2.7 site-packages too:
basedpyright --pythonpath /path/to/python2.7 your_project/

The bundled Python-2.7 typeshed is auto-selected when you analyze at pythonVersion 2.7 — no typeshedPath configuration required.

VS Code: install the basedpyright extension and select your Python 2.7 interpreter; the language server provides hover, go-to-definition, reveal_type, and diagnostics for 2.7 code.
