python-mode > Flymake message flashes in mini-buffer if symbol has no eldoc

[pablos-here]

Hi,

In python-mode, I am seeing an unexpected behavior when symbols have a flymake issue between:

1. symbols that have eldoc versus
2. symbols that do not have eldoc

It is a minor issue.

Suppose that the flymake issue is that the symbol is not being accessed:

• When a symbol has eldoc, the mini-buffer expands with a snippet of documentation.
• When a symbol does not have eldoc, the flymake warning is briefly displayed in the mini-buffer, followed by a persistent message about the type of symbol.

Below is a test case with sample python code[1], a custom.el and a software dependency[3].

Thank you!

Test Case

• Start with a fresh ~/crafted-emacs directory

• Create custom.el - see [2].

• Start emacs and ensure all packages have been downloaded.

• Create a new python-mode file with the test code[1]

• Place point on the tee of import

• Use the keyboard to move point over to the cue in QApplication. Witness in the mini-buffer the first message briefly displayed, followed by the second, persistent message:

  1. Pywright: "QApplication" is not accessed
  2. (class) QApplication

pip3 install PyQt5

I don't see the problem you describe when I follow these directions. Am I missing something? I notice you turn on eglot, but which server do you install?

[Jeff Bowman]

Ok, after installing the pyright language server with pip3 install pyright, I now see the problem. However, this is more related to the language server than to Crafted Emacs. If you do not install the language server and/or don't turn on eglot you don't see this problem.

Ah, I see what you're saying: eglot issue. If so, I'll close the issue (and apologize for wasting your time) and open an issue with eglot.

[Jeff Bowman]

Thanks. No worries, I don't mind looking into things.

While I appreciate your kindness, my take-away is to do better at reporting bugs. I see where I flubbed this one. :]
