Current best plugin stack for Python (linting, etc)

How To

What is the current best plugins stack for Python linting & general editor support? I’m not looking for anything exotic or niche, just the golden standard.

In VSC the standard is:

  • Python (from MS). This installs Pylance
  • IntelliCode

And that’s basically it.

Does this change for Cursor?

I notice with latest update IntelliCode is not loading anymore.
I also notice Cursor Pyright.

And then there’s Python plugin from Anysphere, but I get:

So what’s the golden standard these days?

Hi @jeanmonet – we recommend using “Anysphere Python” inside Cursor.

The anysphere.pyright extension is old and is no longer supported. I would recommended uninstalling it as prompted in the notification.

Thanks, that’s what I currently have. I haven’t followed the VSC extensions beef, I assume that MS’s Pylance / Python extensions are not available outside the original VSC or are stuck to some older version?
