Add pyright support

[mjlbach]

Microsoft is moving on to a proprietary language server backend for python in vscode, pylance, which is implemented on top of the pyright library. It seems like development will be ceasing on the C# Microsoft Python Language Server in favor of this implementation (which is JS based, but apparently somehow much faster). Pyright also includes a language server implementation (sans some additional ML powered intellisense features in pyright). Coc has added support via coc-pyright and there has been some discussion on using the pyright in emacs lsp-mode [here] (emacs-lsp/lsp-mode#1863).

I managed to get nvim to launch and connect to the pyright language server as follows:

local configs = require 'nvim_lsp/configs'
local util = require 'nvim_lsp/util'

local server_name = "pyright"

configs[server_name] = {
  default_config = {
    cmd = {"node", "/home/michael/Repositories/pyright/client/server/server.bundle.js", "--stdio"};
    filetypes = {"python"};
    root_dir = function(fname)
      return util.find_git_ancestor(fname) or vim.loop.os_homedir()
    end;
  };
  docs = {
    description = [[
]];
    default_config = {
      root_dir = [[root_pattern(".git", vim.fn.getcwd())]];
    };
  };
}

-- vim:et ts=2 sw=2

But currently it fails with:

Damn you, Microsoft

[mjlbach]

As of microsoft/pyright#810 pyright language server can be installed via npm

npm install -g pyright
pyright-langserver

[nymann]

As of microsoft/pyright#810 pyright language server can be installed via npm

npm install -g 
pyright-langserver

Doesn't seem to be in the npm registry?

npm ERR! code E404
npm ERR! 404 Not Found - GET https://registry.npmjs.org/pyright-langserver - Not found

@nymann Was missing the package, pyright-langserver --stdio is the command invoked, the package is pyright

FYI while we wait for the PR
I think you can get around the neovim PR by adding the following to the pyright config

before_init = function(initialize_params, config)
            initialize_params['workspaceFolders'] = {{
                name = 'workspace',
                uri = initialize_params['rootUri']
            }}

this will not add, remove, or list the workspace folders, but those functions I think can be added to your init.vim

Pylance support If you need.

Unfortunately, as of v2020.10.3 running Pylance outside of Visual Studio Code no longer works 😞

Using Pyright directly is also the recommended and supported way and that still works.

It still works, thanks for @aca 👍

$ ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE=1 VSCODE_NLS_CONFIG='{"locale": "en"}' node ~/.vscode-server/extensions/ms-python.vscode-pylance-2021.3.0/dist/server.bundle.js --stdio

But why not just use pyright?

Hi all, please keep issues on topic

Due to license issue, I had to delete my repo. Sorry for pylance.nvim user.
