Since installing the Python (Pyright) extension from the Cursor team, me and my colleague have a problem.
Sometimes, after working for long in the same session, the Cursor IDE will start to analyze files, but these files will never complete analyzing. Whenever this happens, coloring the code and type checks will be slower.
Seems to b a problem with the type checking, as I don’t have this when I remove the Cursor Pyright extension. This is not present with the native Microsoft extension.
Hi @Jxlle, thanks for sharing this issue. Could you confirm which Python extension and version you’re on (could you share a screenshot of it?). This is the one we recommend:
If it takes a while to index, it might help to add exclude directories (or set include directories) to limit the # of files being indexed. These can be configured in the settings:
Hi @Jxlle, thanks for confirming. Does ctrl-click (jump to definition) work?
If so, then it might be an issue with the type check settings, which would affect the colorization. The default is “off” which hides many errors. You might need to be set to “basic” (or a stricter level):
Otherwise, could you share the logs from the “Cursor Pyright” and “basedpyright” output windows? These would be helpful to understand whether the LSP is crashing. Thanks!
Hi all – thanks for confirming; we are looking into this issue. In the meantime, if you would like to use the VSCode plugin, please first uninstall Python by Anysphere, and then search for “Pylance” and install that. Attaching a screenshot.
