Semantic code navigation in Python uses pyright-lsp to understand types and symbol relationships, replacing brittle text searches for accurate definition lookups and reference finding. Enable the plugin and start querying symbols in your Python project.

Yes, type-checking with pyright-lsp detects type errors in real time by analyzing your Python project configured with pyproject.toml or pyrightconfig.json. It verifies type correctness and identifies issues as you code.

Python LSP requires the pyright-lsp plugin activation, a Python project configured with pyproject.toml or pyrightconfig.json, and the pyright binary installed. Ensure all three are present before querying definitions, references, or types.

Use semantic code intelligence when you need precise code understanding and safe refactoring in Python codebases. It leverages pyright to understand types, symbol relationships, and inheritance, providing accurate results where text searches would be brittle or incomplete.

Python LSP works with both pyproject.toml and pyrightconfig.json configurations. Either file can configure your Python project for pyright-lsp to provide semantic symbol navigation, reference finding, and type-checking.

Finding all symbol references requires pyright because it provides the semantic understanding of types and relationships that text-based search cannot. The pyright-lsp plugin uses this to accurately locate usages before refactoring.
