✨ PYLSP(1) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the pylsp manual page — part of the User Commands section, and honestly? it's giving main character energy for your editor 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

pylsp — Python Language Server 🐍✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

pylsp [OPTION]...

like. that's it. that's the whole vibe. options go here, everything else is the server doing its thing 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Run a Python Language Server following the Language Server Protocol.</purpose>

no cap, that's the entire job description. it runs a Python language server, and it does it following the Language Server Protocol — the LSP, iykyk 🌈. your editor talks, pylsp listens, everybody slays 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • --tcp — use a TCP server instead of stdio. switch up the transport, bestie 🧚
  • --host HOST — bind to this address. tell it where to sit 💜
  • --port PORT — bind to this port. tell it which door to use 🚪✨
  • --check-parent-process — check whether parent process is still alive using os.kill(ppid, 0) and auto shut down language server process when parent process is not alive. literally the "are you still there? 👀" feature — if your parent process dips, the language server shuts itself down too. no lingering, no drama, periodt 💀
  • --log-config LOG_CONFIG — path to a JSON file containing Python logging config. drop your logging config file path here 📓
  • --log-file LOG_FILE — redirect logs to the given file instead of writing to stderr. sending the receipts to a file instead of screaming them at stderr 🗂️. heads up though: has no effect if used with --log-config. so don't do both and expect magic, bestie 😭
  • -v, --verbose — increase verbosity of log output, overrides log config file. more words, more chaos, and yes — it overrides the log config file 🔥
  • -h, --help — show a help message and exit. the classic. the icon. the one everybody types first 👑
reminder bestie: --log-file and --log-config together = --log-file does nothing. it's not broken, it's just how it is 🙈

and that's the whole page, mwah 💋 this was pylsp version 1.2.2, dated December 2020 — yes, December 2020, she's been iconic for a minute 👑. go forth and code, bestie, you've got this 🦋💖✨
