Code intelligence for Python

Problem to solve

Code Intelligence does not work with Python code.

Intended users

• Sasha (Software Developer)

User experience goal

Code Intelligence's code navigation features are available with Python code.

Proposal

Add Python Code Intelligence support using Sourcegraph's lsif-py once the upstream project lsif-py is stable.

For compatibility with our current implementation, it would be ideal if a sourcegraph/lsif-py docker image was available on Docker Hub.

Further details

As of Feb 2021, Python LSIF Indexer is in its infancy, considered in "under development" and "unstable" according to lsif.dev
