LSIF for Python

Open mostafaeweda opened this issue 6 years ago • 6 comments

I'm wondering if you have any plans to create an LSIF emitter for python (like TypeScript's: https://github.com/Microsoft/lsif-node/ or Java's https://github.com/Microsoft/lsif-java)

No current plans. Eventually, maybe. Currently there is no persistent information to speak of.

@mostafaeweda Curious, what's the use case? Where would you like to use this?

I wanted it to power 2 read-only code exploration experiences (periodically indexing our repos):

  1. VS Code’s rich navigation (code review) - https://code.visualstudio.com/blogs/2018/12/04/rich-navigation
  2. Power code navigation on our internal tool (may also be useful to power Github at some point).

Power code navigation on our internal tool

Right not that's where you'd see any immediate benefit. Thanks

Technically the analysis engine has public API which you can explore and use.

GitLab just added LSIF support https://about.gitlab.com/releases/2020/06/22/gitlab-13-1-released/#code-intelligence
