Support for mypy plugins installed in project

[vrslev]

Hi! Thanks for your work.

I couldn't make mypy plugins to work since python-lsp-server is separate from specific project: they would have to be installed in the same environment as python-lsp-server. Do you have any advices?

If mypy is on PATH, that is the preferred one for pylsp-mypy.
This means you can:

• Create a venv
• Install mypy and your desired plugins
• Activate the venv
• Start your IDE/pylsp server from your base environment
• Rejoice

Is there a way to specify static path that pylsp-mypy uses to find mypy instead of PATH? In my case, it's always ./.venv/bin/mypy

[Richardk2n]

No, it goes for PATH first and if that does not exist it uses the one installed in the environment in which pylsp-mypy is installed.
Depending on your use case, you could have a short script wrapping your IDE/pylsp execution to prepend the appropriate path of the cwd to PATH for this execution only.

I’ll try it later, thanks! 😊
I’m trying to move from VSCode to Zed and this is the thing I’m stuck currently
