Python highlight can't work

[user618]

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

A few days ago, I switched from Pylance to Cursor Pyright and noticed that Cursor fails to highlight code in certain scenarios. For example, in the scenario below, even though the LSP has recognized the class member types, the colors still do not display correctly. The other image shows the highlighting for the same code when I was using Pylance.

Wrong color:

Right color:

Hi @user618, I believe this is due to a difference in implementations. Our extension is based on basedpyright, and there are some differences in how class members / properties are colored. Could you create an issue in their github?

When we update our extension, we’ll pull in the fixes and improvements they make to thier extension.
