Python Language server (Pylance) can't be selected

[Andrei_Botalov]

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

I installed extensions anysphere.cursorpyright, ms-python.python, ms-python.debugpy.

Cursor Pyright changed the setting python.languageServer to ‘None’ to prevent conflicts with Jedi and Pylance.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Add “python.languageServer”: “Default” in settings.json
2. Use “Developer: Reload Window” from command pallette
   I see an error:

Cursor Pyright changed the setting python.languageServer to ‘None’ to prevent conflicts with Jedi and Pylance.

Expected Behavior

Pylance is used

Operating System

Linux

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Sometimes - I can sometimes use Cursor

Hi @Andrei_Botalov,

Pylance is not available in Cursor. We provide our own Python extension as a replacement, which it looks like you have installed.
