Zuban Language Server

Zuban is a high-performance Python Language Server and type checker implemented in Rust, by the author of Jedi. Zuban is 20–200× faster than Mypy, while using roughly half the memory and CPU compared to Ty and Pyrefly. It offers both a PyRight-like mode and a Mypy-compatible mode, which behaves just like Mypy; supporting the same config files, command-line flags, and error messages.

Zuban has full LSP (Language Server Protocol) support. Features include diagnostics, completions, goto, references, rename, hover, auto-imports and document highlights.

Supports Jupyter Notebooks in VSCode as well.

Requirements

The VSCode extension for Zuban should work out of the box, since Zuban is bundled with the extension.

Alternatively you can install zuban in a virtual environment. If that specific virtualenv is activated in VSCode, Zuban will automatically load that specific Zuban version.

• python.zuban.inlayHintMode to disable inlay hints
