pylsp-inlay-hints 0.1.0

Experimental support for inlay hints provider for `python-lsp-server`

pylsp-inlay-hints

Experimental inlay hints plugin for PyLSP.

This is a plugin for Python LSP Server.

Installation

To use this plugin, you need to install this plugin in the same virtualenv as python-lsp-server itself.

pip install pylsp-inlay-hints

Then run python-lsp-server as usual, the plugin will be auto-discovered by python-lsp-server if you've installed it to the right environment. Refer to python-lsp-server and your IDE/text editor documentation on how to setup python-lsp-server.

Configuration

In order for inlay hints to work, your LSP implementation needs to respect inlayHintProvider capability in experimental section of server capabilties.

Features

This plugin adds the following features to pylsp:

• "inlayHintProvider"

Developing

Install development dependencies with (you might want to create a virtualenv first):

git clone https://github.com/mpaliwoda/pylsp-inlay-hints pylsp-inlay-hints
cd pylsp-inlay-hints
pip install -e '.[dev]'

Enabling logging

To enable logging in pylsp:

pylsp -v --log-file /tmp/pylsp.log

Enabling tcp mode

Normally, editors communicate with language servers through standard input/output. Optionally, you can run pylsp in tcp mode if you want to be able to use the standard input/output, for example so you can use IPython or pudb, using the --tcp flag:

pylsp -v --log-file /tmp/pylsp.log --tcp --port 7090

Consult your lsp client documentation on how to connect to tcp-mode language server, but if it doesn't support connecting to a language server via TCP, then usually can configure netcat/nc to be your "language server" that will proxy requests to a tcp-mode language server:

nc localhost 7090

TODO: document how to connect to pylsp via pylsp from LSP clients.
