* Install
** Layer
To use this configuration layer, add it to your =~/.spacemacs=. You will need to
add =python= to the existing =dotspacemacs-configuration-layers= list in this
file.
** Choosing a backend
To choose a default backend set the layer variable =python-backend=:
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
(python :variables python-backend 'anaconda)
#+END_SRC
A Backend can be chosen on a per project basis using directory local variables
(files named =.dir-locals.el= at the root of a project), an example to use the
=lsp= backend:
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
;;; Directory Local Variables
;;; For more information see (info "(emacs) Directory Variables")
((python-mode (python-backend . lsp)))
#+END_SRC
*Note:* you can easily add a directory local variable with ~SPC f v d~.
The available options are:
| symbol | description |
|-----------+--------------------------------|
| 'anaconda | Default |
| 'lsp | python-language-server package |
* Backends
** Anaconda
=anaconda-mode= tries to install the dependencies itself but sometimes
it does not work and you may encounter the following message when
opening a python buffer:
#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
Blocking call to accept-process-output with quit inhibited!!
#+END_EXAMPLE
To fix this, install the =anaconda-mode= [[https://github.com/proofit404/anaconda-mode/wiki][anaconda-deps]] by hand:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
pip install --upgrade "jedi>=0.13.0" "json-rpc>=1.8.1" "service_factory>=0.1.5"
#+END_SRC
If you encounter problems with Jedi 1.0 consider downgrading to 0.13.0. See [[https://github.com/davidhalter/jedi/issues/873][this
issue]] for details.
Source: [[https://github.com/proofit404/anaconda-mode#issues]]
If you are facing errors such as "Unable to run anaconda-mode server", try
setting your =PYTHONPATH= as explained at
[[https://github.com/proofit404/anaconda-mode#pythonpath]]
** Language Server Protocol
The =lsp= backend can use either of the following language server implementations:
| symbol | description |
|---------+------------------------------------------|
| 'pyls | python-language-server package (default) |
| 'mspyls | Microsoft python language server |
=pyls= is used by default - to use the Microsoft server, set the =python-lsp-server=
layer variable as follows:
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
(python :variables python-backend 'lsp python-lsp-server 'mspyls)
#+END_SRC
*** python-language-server
You just have to install python language server package:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
pip install python-language-server[all]
#+END_SRC
Additionally you can install the following other packages:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
# for import sorting
pip install pyls-isort
# for mypy checking (python 3.4+ is needed)
pip install pyls-mypy
pip install pyls-black
#+END_SRC
If you've installed the language server and related packages as development
dependencies in a pipenv environment, you'll want to set the ~python-pipenv-activate~
config variable to ~t~. This activates your pipenv before enabling the
lsp backend.
*** Microsoft python language server
Paraphrasing the instructions provided by the author of the =lsp-python-ms= package:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/python-language-server.git
cd python-language-server/src/LanguageServer/Impl
dotnet build -c Release
dotnet publish -c Release -r <RUNTIME>
#+END_SRC
where ~<RUNTIME>~ is one of the [[https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/rid-catalog][runtime IDs supported by dotnet core]]. One of ~linux-x64~, ~osx-x64~, ~win10-x64~ should
cover most use cases.
The default package configuration assumes the executable is located in a folder included in your system path.
To use the latest built version in a cloned git repo, use the ~python-lsp-git-root~ config variable, e.g.:
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers
'((python :variables
python-backend 'lsp
python-lsp-server 'mspyls
python-lsp-git-root "~/dev/python/python-language-server")))
#+END_SRC
N.B. If you're using Arch linux or a derivative distribution, you can install the =microsoft-python-language-server=
package from the AUR.
* Additional tools
** Syntax checking
Syntax checking uses =flake8= package:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
pip install flake8
#+END_SRC
** Test runner
Both =nose= and =pytest= are supported. By default =nose= is used.
To choose your test runner set the layer variable =python-test-runner= to
either =nose= or =pytest=.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers
'((python :variables python-test-runner 'pytest)))
#+END_SRC
If you need both then you can set =python-test-runner= to a list like this:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers
'((python :variables python-test-runner '(pytest nose))))
#+END_SRC
This means that =pytest= is your primary test runner. To use the secondary test
runner you can call the test functions with a prefix argument e.g. ~SPC u SPC m
t t~ to run one test with =nose=.
To set project specific test runners you can set =python-test-runner= in a
directory local variable in your project root. ~SPC f v d~ in Spacemacs. See
[[https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Directory-Variables.html][the official documentation]] for more information.
The root of the project is detected with a =.git= directory or a =setup.cfg= file.
** Buffer formatting
One of [[https://github.com/google/yapf][YAPF]], [[https://github.com/ambv/black][black]] or =lsp= may be selected as the formatter, via
=python-formatter=, as =yapf=, =black= or =lsp= respectively. If non is selected
either =yapf= or =lsp= is used depending on the selected backend.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(
(python :variables python-formatter 'yapf)))
#+END_SRC
The key binding ~SPC m =~ invokes the selected formatter on the current buffer
when in non LSP python mode otherwise ~SPC m ==~ is used.
Note that a specific formatter may also be invoked unconditionally via
=yapfify-buffer=, =blacken-buffer= or =lsp-format-buffer=, provided
these are installed.
** Automatic buffer formatting on save
To enable automatic buffer formatting on save set the variable
=python-format-on-save= to =t=. The formatter specified by =python-formatter=
will be used.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(
(python :variables python-format-on-save t)))
#+END_SRC
** Automatic save of buffer when testing
By default a buffer is automatically saved before tests are executed upon it,
you can disable this feature by setting =python-save-before-test= to =nil=.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(
(python :variables python-save-before-test nil)))
#+END_SRC
** autoflake
To be able to suppress unused imports easily, install [[https://github.com/myint/autoflake][autoflake]]:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
pip install autoflake
#+END_SRC
** pylookup
To use =pylookup= on ~SPC m h H~, make sure you update the database first, using
~SPC SPC pylookup-update~.
** dap-mode debugger (only for lsp backend)
To use =dap-mode= for debugging do:
#+BEGIN_SRC bash
pip install "ptvsd>=4.2"
#+END_SRC
* Configuration
** Fill column
If you want to customize the fill column value, use something like this inside
the =user-init= function in your =.spacemacs=:
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(
(python :variables python-fill-column 99)))
#+END_SRC
** Sort imports
If you want imports to be automatically sorted when you save a file (using
[[https://pypi.python.org/pypi/isort][isort]]), set the =python-sort-imports-on-save= variable in the python layer
config section:
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers
'((python :variables python-sort-imports-on-save t)))
#+END_SRC
or as a directory-local variable (for per-project settings).
** Importmagic
Install importmagic and epc for importmagic functionality.
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
pip install importmagic epc
#+END_SRC
** Pyvenv, pyenv and pipenv
Sometimes, it is convenient to be able to use python virtual environments from
other modes. For this reason, the python layer provides the variables
=spacemacs--python-pyenv-modes=, =spacemacs--python-pyvenv-modes= and
=spacemacs--python-pipenv-modes=. If you wish to be able to access these
functionalities from other modes, in your user config section, do:
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
(add-to-list 'spacemacs--python-pipenv-mode 'your-mode)
#+END_SRC
This will allow you to use [[https://github.com/pwalsh/pipenv.el][pipenv]] bindings from the mode your-mode.
You can add to the other two lists analogously.
* Management of Python versions and virtual environments
** Manage virtual environments with pyvenv
A virtual environment provides isolation of your Python package versions. For a
general overview see [[http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/dev/virtualenvs/][this site]]. [[http://virtualenvwrapper.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html][Virtualenvwrapper]] which is also explained in the
previous link, is a program which manages your virtual environments in a central
location set by the =WORKON_HOME= environment variable.
Spacemacs integration of virtual environments and virtualenvwrapper is provided
by the [[https://github.com/jorgenschaefer/pyvenv][pyvenv]] package. It provides the following key bindings:
| Key binding | Description |
|-------------+-------------------------------------------------|
| ~SPC m V a~ | activate a virtual environment in any directory |
| ~SPC m V d~ | deactivate active virtual environment |
| ~SPC m V w~ | work on virtual environment in =WORKON_HOME= |
** Manage multiple Python versions with pyenv
If you need multiple Python versions (e.g. Python 2 and Python 3) then take a
look at [[https://github.com/yyuu/pyenv][pyenv]]. It enables the installation and management of multiple
Python versions.
[[https://www.brianthicks.com/post/2015/04/15/automate-your-python-environment-with-pyenv/][This blogpost]] gives a good overview on how to use the tool. Spacemacs
integration is provided by [[https://github.com/proofit404/pyenv-mode][pyenv mode]] which has the following key bindings.
| Key binding | Description |
|-------------+--------------------------------------|
| ~SPC m v s~ | set a pyenv environment with [[https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv][pyenv]] |
| ~SPC m v u~ | unset a pyenv environment with [[https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv][pyenv]] |
Pyenv can also manage virtual environments for each of the Python versions it
has installed. Those will be listed alongside your Python versions.
*** Automatic activation of local pyenv version
A project-specific pyenv version may be written to a file called
=.python-version= using the [[https://github.com/yyuu/pyenv/blob/master/COMMANDS.md#user-content-pyenv-local][pyenv local]] command.
Spacemacs can search in parent directories for this file, and automatically set
the pyenv version. The behavior can be set with the variable
=python-auto-set-local-pyenv-version= to:
- =on-visit= (default) set the version when you visit a python buffer,
- =on-project-switch= set the version when you switch projects,
- =nil= to disable.
The same is also possible on pyvenv with a file called =.venv= that specifies
either an absolute or relative path to a virtualenv directory. A relative path
is checked relative to the location of =.venv=, then relative to
=pyvenv-workon-home=. =.venv= can also be a virtualenv directory. The behavior
can be set with the variable =python-auto-set-local-pyvenv-virtualenv= to:
- =on-visit= (default) set the virtualenv when you visit a python buffer,
- =on-project-switch= set the virtualenv when you switch projects,
- =nil= to disable.
** Manage environments and packages with pipenv
[[https://pipenv.kennethreitz.org/en/latest/][Pipenv]] is the new standard tool to manage your virtual environments. It can act as
a replacement for both =pyenv= and =venv= on a per-repository basis. An overview
of how to use the tool is provided [[https://pipenv.kennethreitz.org/en/latest/basics/][here]].
Spacemacs integration for pipenv is provided by the [[https://github.com/pwalsh/pipenv.el][pipenv package]].
It provides the following key bindings:
| Key binding | Description |
|---------------+------------------------------------------------------------|
| ~SPC m v p a~ | activate a pipenv environment with [[https://github.com/pwalsh/pipenv.el][pipenv]] |

| ~SPC m v p i~ | install a package into a virtual environment with [[https://github.com/pwalsh/pipenv.el][pipenv]] |
| ~SPC m v p o~ | open an installed module in a new buffer with [[https://github.com/pwalsh/pipenv.el][pipenv]] |
| ~SPC m v p s~ | open a shell buffer in the current environment with [[https://github.com/pwalsh/pipenv.el][pipenv]] |
| ~SPC m v p u~ | uninstall a package from a virtual environment with [[https://github.com/pwalsh/pipenv.el][pipenv]] |
* Key bindings
