Support for workspace symbols #237DescriptionI ask because I tried using this package and it complained that pylsp does not support this feature. It worked well with pyright though.
Does pyright support symbols and pylsp not?

@ccordoba12
What's you approach to workspace symbols? Do you prefer not to use this feature? ccordoba12 commented on Jul 7, 2022 There are no plans right now, sorry.
Maybe Jedi offers this functionality but we haven't checked because there has been little interest for it. astoff commented on Aug 8, 2022 For the record, I find the workspace symbols feature quite useful. One can always grep the project for def something, but that's not as handy. It would also seem relatively straightforward to implement, which gives it a pretty good cost/benefit ratio.

However, we're swamped with other things, so I don't know when we'll have time to implement it.

In the README I saw you mentioned that Jedi can provide this function, so does it mean we can use it well now? ccordoba12 commented on Sep 28, 2022 No, we need to implement that functionality in the way expected by the LSP protocol here.

@ccordoba12 Thanks for clarifying that for us. eyalk11 commented on Jan 6, 2024 Made a pull request to resolve it. #511 Cadair commented on Mar 5, 2025 Just wanted to politely bump this, I would find it very useful and would love to see an implementation merged. agzam commented on Apr 3, 2025 Seriously? How the heck an lsp-server doesn't support one of the most important features? Kind of a break-dealer, no? Reacted by eyalk5, savchenko and shiny-comic Reacted by Stuart Mumford and Miles Granger savchenko commented on Apr 19, 2025 OK, which Python LSP server provides workspace symbols? agzam commented on Apr 19, 2025
OK, which Python LSP server provides workspace symbols?
basedpyright does.
upd: I initially replied from my phone, came to find my laptop to edit my own comment for clarification. Even though my initial question may look like demanding and kind of a dick comment, it was genuine. I don't even write Python day-to-day, I just needed to explore a couple of projects done by another team and I wished for lsp support. I found this project and the number of interesting features implemented in it got me excited. I wasn't even disappointed, but rather confused and surprised by the lack of this feature. Project-wide workspace symbol lookup is one of the most used features for me in other languages I use, so my confusion I believe was justified.
I posted my question because I thought maybe, there's an easy workaround. Turns out basedpyright supports the feature, but if it gets implemented here, I would happily use it. Like I said, I have no horses in this race, I'm not actively writing Python - I don't really care for the best and most complete implementation of all the lsp features in a server, but particularly this feature, for me personally is somewhat important. Reacted by Eduardo Bray Reacted by savchenko jbirnick commented on Oct 7, 2025 Would love to have workspace symbols too, I use them all the time in my development workflow!
