Auto-import?

[kuator]

jedi doesn't support auto-import: pappasam/jedi-language-server#126 (comment)
can python-lsp support it through other means?

[andfoy]

@kuator, an addition in Jedi would need to be required in order to do this, there was a plan to implement a race-based completion request between Jedi and Rope, which provides auto-import and better compiled extension analysis, however it needs to be migrated to the new server

Quoting the original Jedi author: "Jedi does not support autoimport nor will it in the near future" davidhalter/jedi-vim#736 (comment)

I think @andfoy meant that an addition to this server is needed to support getting responses from both Jedi and Rope at the same time.

Oh, I see, I'm sorry for misunderstanding

As another option, try out https://github.com/deshaw/jupyterlab-pyflyby for jupyterlab auto-import

@mlucool I mostly do backend, so I think it's a no-go for me, thanks for the reply though!

The language server in Pyright does this, i.e. it shows auto-complete suggestions for all functions and classes from all resolved Python modules and submodules, and if you select one it adds the import automatically. Probably a good reference point if somebody decides to implement it here.

Pyright is done in Typescript, so it doesn't offer much help to us.

Yes, but I only meant to suggest it as a reference to learn from. Surely it must help to examine a working implementation and not have to figure out everything from scratch.

@kuator pyflyby is pure python: https://github.com/deshaw/pyflyby (blog)

Holy shit, that repo looks friggin awesome... If the performance is good it looks like the perfect basis for an auto import feature in a language server.

Actually I could probably add a save hook to automatically add missing imports. Then I'd only be missing the auto-complete suggestions.

Any update on this? pyflyby looks so great.

relatively simple solution, formats entire document. Could be moved to this repo due to simplicity. A better solution would be to integrate it with Jedi or Rope somehow so we can let the user pick a module rather than retroactively adding them.

[ccordoba12]

Hey @bageljrkhanofemus, that's pretty cool! You could move it to this organization, so you can maintain it yourself (we wouldn't like to maintain more plugins here).

[bagel897]

How would I do that?
