+
+A Python 2.7 and 3.5+ implementation of the [Language Server Protocol](https://github.com/Microsoft/language-server-protocol).
+
+## Installation
+
+The base language server requires [Jedi](https://github.com/davidhalter/jedi) to provide Completions, Definitions, Hover, References, Signature Help, and Symbols:
+
+```
+pip install python-language-server
+```
+
+If the respective dependencies are found, the following optional providers will be enabled:
+- [Rope](https://github.com/python-rope/rope) for Completions and renaming
+- [Pyflakes](https://github.com/PyCQA/pyflakes) linter to detect various errors
+- [McCabe](https://github.com/PyCQA/mccabe) linter for complexity checking
+- [pycodestyle](https://github.com/PyCQA/pycodestyle) linter for style checking
+- [pydocstyle](https://github.com/PyCQA/pydocstyle) linter for docstring style checking (disabled by default)
+- [autopep8](https://github.com/hhatto/autopep8) for code formatting
+- [YAPF](https://github.com/google/yapf) for code formatting (preferred over autopep8)
+
+Optional providers can be installed using the `extras` syntax. To install [YAPF](https://github.com/google/yapf) formatting for example:
+
+```
+pip install 'python-language-server[yapf]'
+```
+
+All optional providers can be installed using:
+
+```
+pip install 'python-language-server[all]'
+```
+
+If you get an error similar to `'install_requires' must be a string or list of strings` then please upgrade setuptools before trying again.
+
+```
+pip install -U setuptools
+```
+
+### 3rd Party Plugins
+
+Installing these plugins will add extra functionality to the language server:
+
+- [pyls-mypy](https://github.com/tomv564/pyls-mypy) Mypy type checking for Python 3
+- [pyls-isort](https://github.com/paradoxxxzero/pyls-isort) Isort import sort code formatting
+- [pyls-black](https://github.com/rupert/pyls-black) for code formatting using [Black](https://github.com/ambv/black)
+
+Please see the above repositories for examples on how to write plugins for the Python Language Server. Please file an issue if you require assistance writing a plugin.
+
+## Configuration
+
+Configuration is loaded from zero or more configuration sources.  Currently implemented are:
+
+- pycodestyle: discovered in `~/.config/pycodestyle`, `setup.cfg`, `tox.ini` and `pycodestyle.cfg`.
+- flake8: discovered in `~/.config/flake8`, `setup.cfg`, `tox.ini` and `flake8.cfg`
+
+The default configuration source is pycodestyle. Change the `pyls.configurationSources` setting to `['flake8']` in order to respect flake8 configuration instead.
+
+Overall configuration is computed first from user configuration (in home directory), overridden by configuration passed in by the language client, and then overriden by configuration discovered in the workspace.
+
+To enable pydocstyle for linting docstrings add the following setting in your LSP configuration:
+`\` "pyls.plugins.pydocstyle.enabled": true \``
+
+See [vscode-client/package.json](vscode-client/package.json) for the full set of supported configuration options.

+
+## Development
+
+To run the test suite:
+
+```
+pip install .[test] && pytest
+```
+
+# Develop against VS Code
+
+The Python language server can be developed against a local instance of
+Visual Studio Code.
+
+Install [VSCode](https://code.visualstudio.com/download)
+
+```bash
+# Setup a virtual env
+virtualenv env
+. env/bin/activate
+
+# Install pyls
+pip install .
+
+# Install the vscode-client extension
+cd vscode-client
+yarn install
+
+# Run VSCode which is configured to use pyls
+# See the bottom of vscode-client/src/extension.ts for info
+yarn run vscode -- $PWD/../
+```
+
+Then to debug, click View -> Output and in the dropdown will be pyls.
+To refresh VSCode, press `Cmd + r`
