Symbol search unusable without Pylance

[ggydush-fn]

I use symbol search pretty heavily (via command + T, or prefixing "#" or "@" to the command palette). This feature is very snappy and responsive with Pylance, but unfortunately, with Pylance being closed source, we cannot use it with code-server or any other open source versions of Vscode. When changing the language server to "Jedi" the symbol search becomes pretty much unusable on even small projects (10+ second delay for searching). Are there any ways of speeding this up (via up front indexing) or is this just a limitation of Jedi that is unavoidable?

It's simply a limitation of Jedi. You can try opening an issue at https://github.com/davidhalter/jedi .

Could Pyright be a language server? It being open sourced means I could still use!

[brettcannon]

I don't believe so. I think the LSP-specific parts are what are closed-source while the type-checking parts are what are open source.

😢 Thank you for responding and thinking about this! One more +1 to open sourcing Pylance some day if possible (love it so much)
