It works for php but doesn't work for python

it works for php but doesn't work for python. I try install filbert by myself, but still not work.

vscode 1.32.1 os ubuntu 18.04.2

Hmm, python is enabled by default, but I recall having issues with the support a while back, could you provide a little more info:

1. Is it happening for all python files?
2. Could you provide a minimal example that reproduces the issue?

[reese-repo]

1. Yes, all python files.And vscode outline works.

2. 
   #!/usr/bin/env python3
   # -*- coding:utf-8 -*-

a = 'abc' b = 'defhig'

a, b = sorted([a, b], key=lambda x: len(x), reverse=True)

print([a, b])

3. Does this extension need any extensions or softwares or configs? It also desn't work with python files on my macbook.

[DaGhostman]

there shouldn't be any need for configs although the case you are describing here is interesting I have a suspicion that the issue comes from a, b = ... not being handled properly. Doesn't it work when you remove that line?

Also what will the expected output be?

• the initial assignment; or
• the computed one

Thanks!

Unfortunately there is nothing that could be done for this, if the parser doesn't understand what is happening there is no way for the extension to guess/know/extrapolate the tree.

And while I do understand your frustration, there is nothing I could do right now, will be keeping a close eye on this one, but until then ... :disappointed:

@DaGhostman I get some progress.It could parse very simple syntax.

#!/usr/bin/env python3
# -*- coding:utf-8 -*-

a = 1
b = 2

a, b = b, a

But it also doesn't work for complex syntax.

To some extent I think it makes sense for it to break, the possibilities are quite a number and given the fact that it [filbert] hasn't been updated for a while ... :disappointed:

[reese-repo]

Last filbert version was published 3 years ago and never updated after that. So sad. Do you have a plan B for it ?

[DaGhostman]

Unfortunately no, when I was looking for a python parser there weren't any, maybe if the community picks it up and a more maintained fork comes up, I will look into fixing this, but until then there is nothing I can do.

If you stumble upon a good alternative, please reopen this or submit a new issue
