PyDev development

History For PyDev on VSCode

Release 0.15.2

• When doing a launch, the env variable is properly merged with the env variable from the launch configuration.

Release 0.15.1

• Fixed caching issue when auto-computing interpreter information (information was computed properly but not applied due to bad caching).
• Handle case where module.body could be null.
• Improve type inference engine to deal with TypeAlias.
• Fixes in code analysis to deal with TypeAlias.

Release 0.15.0

• Improved loading launch configuration templates.

• Fixed issue in code analysis related to bad scoping of type variable:

  • In the case of def f[T](...), T was actually bound to the outer scope, not to the function scope.

• Fixed internal error building AST with type statement construct type IntOrStr = int | str.

Release 0.14.1

Bugfix release:

• When VSCode itself is run in debug, don't automatically add agentlib vmargs for debugging (python.pydev.ls.vmargs) can be used for that.
  • This could make the extension fail to start.

Release 0.14.0

Release focus on multi-project support!

Details:

• Added command PyDev: Clear caches to clear internal caches and restart the Language Server
  • This can be used as an escape hatch when the Language Server is returning outdated information or if the project structure has changed.
• Multiple projects and interpreters in the workspace are now detected and used by PyDev by using the information in a pyproject.toml, venv, conda or Sema4ai VSCode Extension (which automatically creates an interpreter based on package.yaml/robot.yaml files) -- please report if you need support for other tools or if the existing heuristics don't work for your project structure.
  • Searching for multiple projects is enabled by default but can be disabled by setting python.pydev.autoDetectProjects to false (when disabled, just a single project is used for the whole workspace using the python.pydev.pythonInterpreter and python.pydev.pythonPath settings).
  • See: https://www.pydev.org/vscode/multipleprojectshandling.html for more details.
• When opening a definition, PyDev will now prefer to open the actual source file instead of a file just with the definitions in typeshed (although if it cannot be found, typeshed will still be used).
• Using ruff check instead of ruff in ruff integration (command line breakage from ruff).

Release 0.13.0

• Using runfiles.py from Python Debugger (PyDev) extension (when available) to run tests.
• Along with the updated Python Debugger (PyDev) version 0.0.5 provides support for debugging Python 3.13.

Release 0.12.0

• Preliminary support for Python 3.13 (note: the debugger still doesn't support it, but it'll follow soon).
• Fix in assist docstring: properly updates docstring even if the signature spans multiple lines.
• Support for Annotated[cls] in type inference engine.
• Support for type alias declaration (Python 3.12 syntax fix). i.e.: the following syntax is supported: type Point[T] = tuple[T, T].
• Support for type parameters (Python 3.12 syntax fix). i.e.: the following syntax is supported: class A[T]: ... / def foo[T](x: T): ....

Release 0.11.0

• New code assists to create classes/functions/modules
  • Examples:
    • If method is not found in self.method(), a code assist to create method in the current class is provided.
    • If MyClass is undefined, a code assist to create a class such as MyClass is provided.
    • If import my_module points to an undefined module, a code assist to create a my_module is provided.
• When the interpreter is changed all open editors have code analysis re-requested.
• Created new command: PyDev: Force code analysis (to force code analysis in the current file).
• Fixed issue where AST cache was not properly refreshed when a file was removed.
• Fixed issue where the AST cache from the current (dirty) editor contents was not properly updated.

Release 0.10.1

• Fixed issue which could lead to RecursionError initializing the language server when restoring the interpreter info internally.
• When adding a local import (when setting "python.pydev.preferredImportLocation": "topOfMethod"), an import added for unresolved variables inside a method definition arguments is properly added as a global import.
• When a completion for arguments in a method call is provided it's made the default.

Release 0.10.0

• Improved the workspace symbols matching:
  • It now considers the match with the name + module (which can be matched in VSCode with ).
  • It now matches without having to add wildcard chars (*) as VSCode didn't match when wildcards were actually added (which resulted in no symbols being shown).
• New code assist to convert a string to an f-string.
• New code assist to assign to local or field.
• New code assist to wrap text in a comment or string (customize through setting: python.pydev.text.wrap.columns).
• The code assist for Surround with try..except is now Surround with try..except Exception.
• Improved command Config: Select Python Interpreter to show previously selected interpreters and to allow to choose from conda environments.

Release 0.9.0 (2024-09-03)

• Code assist to create/update docstring.
• Code assist to surround with try..except, with, etc.
• Following link when deciding whether 2 different folders are the same to determine whether it's part of the project or interpreter information.

Release 0.8.0 (2024-08-25)

• Created commands to run/debug current file with PyDev launch.
  • Customizable through a launch configuration with request: "run-file-template".
• Code lenses in if __name__== "__main__" to Run/Debug the current file.
• Fixed new lines on test results.

Release 0.7.1 (2024-06-23)

• Added more information to the Show PyDev Configuration Information command.

Release 0.7.0 (2024-05-28)

• Initial integration with the Testing view
  • Note: currently just updates tests for the currently opened file and doesn't load all workspace tests.

Release 0.6.0 (2024-05-11)

• Added support for import sorting as a part of the code formatting (using isort or one of the internal formatters).

Release 0.5.1 (2024-05-06)

• Fixed issue where code action to fix undefined import didn't work properly.

Release 0.5.0 (2024-05-05)

• Created command: PyDev: Config: Select Python Interpreter
• Better UI to show different generated logs.

• Supports using as the formatter:
  • Black
  • Ruff
  • autopep8
  • See related python.pydev.formatter setting.
  • Example: after installing Ruff in the Python environment, enable Ruff to be the formatter used by setting python.pydev.formatter to ruff.
• Supports using for linting (when a file is saved):
  • MyPy
  • Ruff
  • PyLint
  • Flake8
  • See related python.pydev.lint settings.
  • Example: after installing MyPy in the Python environment, enable MyPy code analysis through the python.pydev.lint.mypy.use setting.
• Running / Debugging (with the required Python Debugger (PyDev) extension):
  • Run a Python program (path/to/script.py) (set program in the launch configuration).
  • Run a Python module (python -m ) (set module in the launch configuration).
  • Attach to a Python program waiting for a connection:
    • The Python program must call import pydevd;pydevd.settrace(host="", port=port, protocol="dap").
    • An attach launch configuration with an attach mode must be run.
  • Start a server which waits for incoming connections:
    • An attach launch configuration with a server mode must be run.
    • The Python program must call import pydevd;pydevd.settrace(host="127.0.0.1", port=port, protocol="dap").
  • In Python 3.12, uses new APIs for very low overhead debugging.
  • In other Python versions, it can also leverage the Python frame eval for fast debugging (though it falls back to tracing once a breakpoint is hit).
