Question about non-VS Code support and board support

[vincentchov]

Sorry if this the wrong place to ask questions, but is the Micropy CLI compatible with other text editors like NeoVim? Also, are the stubs compatible with the ESP8266? Thanks!

[Josverl]

I have published the micropythin-esp8266-stubs to PyPi
https://pypi.org/project/micropython-esp8266-stubs/

if neovim understands python stubs, it should work, or work for the best part.

• I have tested extensively with PyLance and PyRight for linting , hinting and code completion.
• I have not tested NeoVim ,
• but it is said that NeoVim can work with PyRight,
• So assuming correct integration and configuration, NeoVim + coc-Pyright should be able to use PyRight as well.

I'd start with just installing the stubs

• either in your python environment pip install -I micropython-<port>-stubs

• or in a typings folder for pyright to use pip install -I micropython-<port>-stubs --target ./typings

please do let me know if it works, and if any special configuration is needed , as others may want to use the same.

For Micopy-cli you should really ask Braden in the discussions / isses in that repro. I do not think that pasting the question elsewhere will get you that answer any sooner.
