I'm really excited for this.

Yes, pyright is fast enough, 99% of the time. But the install story, requiring npm etc, is a bit of a pain.

A rust based version with similar install ease as ruff would be great.

Additionally, if it is a lot faster, I think it should unlock more possibilities for eager search to improve the lsp.

Quite often the pyright lsp doesn't find auto imports - there's just too much many places to search.

I'm following this with great interest!

Python LSP Server works great, is easier to install and even offers some optional extensions.

This unfortunately has `docstring-to-markdown` as one of its dependencies, which is a pain to install behind corporate pip proxies because it's under GPL.

In the interim, check out basedpyright [1]. It's an up-to-date fork of pyright with some improvements, less arbitrary limitations, and does not require npm to install.

I was thrilled to learn about basedpyright recently. It does a great job of filling in some of the missing parts of pyright that MS deemed a better fit for pylance – which is a vs code exclusive.

Easy to install with pipx.

As with pyright, I’ve noticed `--createstubs` helps against slowness when working in modules that import large untyped packages.

Do you have experience with it in production? Is it a drop-in replacement with respect to existing pyright configuration?

Agree that this looks useful. I actively do not want NPM in my toolchain.

Pyright requires npm?! Wtf!

It's written by Microsoft in TypeScript.

Which is a very sensible decision given that VSCode is Typescript, and also it means it can run on the web. Also Typescript is a much nicer and faster language than Python.

But it does cause some awkwardness.
