#### Static type checker and language server for Python

\*\* Speed \*\*

Pyright is a fast type checker meant for large Python source bases. It
can run in a “watch” mode and performs fast incremental updates when
files are modified.

\*\* Configurability \*\*

Pyright supports configuration files that provide granular control over
settings. Different “execution environments” can be associated with
subdirectories within a source base. Each environment can specify
different module search paths, python language versions, and platform
targets.

\*\* Type Checking Features \*\*

* PEP 484 type hints including generics
* PEP 487 simpler customization of class creation
* PEP 526 syntax for variable annotations
* PEP 544 structural subtyping
* PEP 561 distributing and packaging type information
* PEP 563 postponed evaluation of annotations
* PEP 570 position-only parameters
* PEP 585 type hinting generics in standard collections
* PEP 586 literal types
* PEP 589 typed dictionaries
* PEP 591 final qualifier
* PEP 593 flexible variable annotations
* PEP 604 complementary syntax for unions
* PEP 612 parameter specification variables
* PEP 613 explicit type aliases
* PEP 635 structural pattern matching
* PEP 646 variadic generics
* PEP 647 user-defined type guards
* PEP 655 required typed dictionary items
* PEP 673 Self type
* PEP 675 arbitrary literal strings
* PEP 681 dataclass transform
* Type inference for function return values, instance variables, class
  variables, and globals
* Type guards that understand conditional code flow constructs like
  if/else statements

\*\* Language Server Integration \*\*

Pyright ships as both a command-line tool and a Language Server protocol
server that provides many powerful features that help improve programming
efficiency.

\*\* Language Server Features \*\*

* Intelligent type completion of keywords, symbols, and import names
  appears when editing
* Import statements are automatically inserted when necessary for type
  completions
* Signature completion tips help when filling in arguments for a call
* Hover over symbols to provide type information and doc strings
* Find Definitions to quickly go to the location of a symbol’s definition
* Find References to find all references to a symbol within a code base
* Rename Symbol to rename all references to a symbol within a code base
* Find Symbols within the current document or within the entire workspace
* View call hierarchy information — calls made within a function and
  places where a function is called
* Organize Imports command for automatically ordering imports according
  to PEP8 rules
* Type stub generation for third-party libraries
