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!

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. [1] https://github.com/detachhead/basedpyright https://github.com/detachhead/basedpyright

  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.

Python LSP Server works great, is easier to install and even offers some optional extensions. https://github.com/python-lsp/python-lsp-server https://github.com/python-lsp/python-lsp-server

  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.
