I came in at the tail end of https://github.com/python-lsp/python-lsp-server/issues/195. The possibility of me sponsoring a fix came up, and I’m on board with it, but the other contributor never replied.

Ah yeah, Carlos is very low on cycles (like all of us I guess), probably due to the day job. (If only OSS had competitive pay...)

That happens. I’m kind of bummed at the situation in general, but no one owes me to prioritize my convenience over theirs.

Perhaps unrelated but Ive been meaning to ask and I couldn't find - what's the deal with python-lsp-server and virtualenvs? It seems like it has to be installed in the virtualenv to provide completions, etc. Is that right?

No. The editor sends information about the environment to the server. That was a mystery to me, too, for a while.
