The tradeoff is that we have to wait a few seconds on startup for the dependency checks, which was not a pain for me since it only happens when the server starts.
To enable pipx to start servers, just set the following option:
(setopt lsp-bridge-python-command "pipx")
What do you think about offering an opt-in feature like this?
Motivation
In recent years, it has become very difficult to do a system-wide pip install as described in the README due to PEP 668 – Marking Python base environments as “externally managed”.
Solution
pipx run
transparently creates a virtual environment and automatically resolves the latest dependencies.pipx
supports PEP 723 – Inline script metadata, so packages embedded inlsp_bridge.py
scripts will be automatically installed.The tradeoff is that we have to wait a few seconds on startup for the dependency checks, which was not a pain for me since it only happens when the server starts.
