Vscode shows function docstrings twice when using jedi + pyright

Question

I am using VSCodium (an open source version of vscode) with jedi and pyright installed. This leads to function docstrings getting displayed twice (see attached picture), as jedi and pyright both show them.

Is there a way to disable this single feature for jedi without disabling jedi completely?

Answer 1

It turns out that Pyright itself is a language server and therefore vscode shows both the output of pyright and jedi at the same time. Adding "python.languageServer": "None", in your config fixes this.

Update: An alternative approach is to continue using jedi or any other language server and just set "pyright.disableLanguageServices" to true.

Answer 2

Can you try to switch to Pylance Language Server? pyright has built-in it:

Pyright has detected that the Pylance extension is installed. Pylance includes the functionality of Pyright, and running both of these extensions can lead to problems. Pyright will disable itself. Uninstall or disable Pyright to avoid this message.
