jedi-language-server
A Language Server for the latest version(s) of Jedi. If using Neovim/Vim, we recommend using with coc-jedi. Supports Python versions 3.7 and newer.
Note: this tool is actively used by its primary author. He's happy to review pull requests / respond to issues you may discover.
Installation
Some frameworks, like coc-jedi and vscode-python, will install and manage jedi-language-server for you. If you're setting up manually, you can run the following from your command line (bash / zsh):
pip install -U jedi-language-server
Alternatively (and preferably), use pipx to keep jedi-language-server and its dependencies isolated from your other Python dependencies. Don't worry, jedi is smart enough to figure out which Virtual environment you're currently using!
Capabilities
jedi-language-server aims to support Jedi's capabilities and expose them through the Language Server Protocol. It supports the following Language Server capabilities:
Language Features
- completionItem/resolve
- textDocument/codeAction (refactor.inline, refactor.extract)
- textDocument/completion
- textDocument/definition
- textDocument/documentHighlight
- textDocument/documentSymbol

- textDocument/publishDiagnostics
- textDocument/references
- textDocument/rename
- textDocument/signatureHelp
- workspace/symbol
Text Synchronization (for diagnostics)
Editor Setup
The following instructions show how to use jedi-language-server with your development tooling. The instructions assume you have already installed jedi-language-server.
Vim / Neovim
Users may choose 1 of the following options:
- coc.nvim with coc-jedi.
- ALE.
- Neovim's native LSP client. See here for an example configuration.
- vim-lsp.
Note: this list is non-exhaustive. If you know of a great choice not included in this list, please submit a PR!

Visual Studio Code (vscode)
Starting from the October 2021 release, set the python.languageServer
setting to Jedi
to use jedi-language-server.
Note: This does not support Python 2.7.
See: #50 (comment)
Command line
jedi-language-server can be run directly from the command line.
$ jedi-language-server --help
usage: jedi-language-server [-h] [--version] [--tcp] [--ws] [--host HOST] [--port PORT] [--log-file LOG_FILE] [-v]
Jedi language server: an LSP wrapper for jedi.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--version display version information and exit
--tcp use TCP web server instead of stdio
--ws use web socket server instead of stdio
--host HOST host for web server (default 127.0.0.1)
--port PORT port for web server (default 2087)
--log-file LOG_FILE redirect logs to file specified
-v, --verbose increase verbosity of log output
Examples:
Run over stdio : jedi-language-server
Run over tcp : jedi-language-server --tcp
Run over websockets:
# only need to pip install once per env
pip install pygls[ws]
jedi-language-server --ws
Notes:
For use with web sockets, user must first run
'pip install pygls[ws]' to install the correct
version of the websockets library.
If testing sending requests over stdio manually from the command line, you must include Windows-style line endings: \r\n
. For an example, from within this project, run the following:

Diagnostics
Diagnostics are provided by Python's built-in compile
function.
If you would like additional diagnostics (from pylint, mypy, etc.), we recommend using the powerful diagnostic-language-server.
Code Formatting
Again, we recommend that you use diagnostic-language-server. It also supports code formatting.

Inspiration
Palantir's python-language-server inspired this project. In fact, for consistency's sake, many of python-language-server's CLI options are used as-is in jedi-language-server.
Unlike python-language-server, jedi-language-server:
- Uses pygls instead of creating its own low-level Language Server Protocol bindings
- Supports one powerful 3rd party static analysis / completion / refactoring library: Jedi. By only supporting Jedi, we can focus on supporting all Jedi features without exposing ourselves to too many broken 3rd party dependencies (I'm looking at you, rope).
- Is supremely simple because of its scope constraints. Leave complexity to the Jedi master. If the force is strong with you, please submit a PR!
