glad people are still finding this useful in 2025. my setup remains fundamentally the same

[paddypimblett]

you have a really good talent at explaining things really simple yet informative ; really beginner friendly. great job and keep it up!

[DAVE-GM]

Wow! finally, a comprehensive guide to setting up Python with Neovim! Your tutorial is incredibly helpful. I would greatly appreciate it if you could delve deeper into LSP integration related to Python virtual environments. Your insights are invaluable!

[milindnirgun]

This is awesome!! Thank you for putting this together, exactly what I have been looking for after struggling for days with different Neovim distributions and trying to customize. Liked and subscribed!

Thank you for showing pyright from scratch, I have been struggling with this for a few days and I think this will get me over the wall

[hichamelkaissi]

Thank you for the video. Definitely need to watch it multiple times.

[friendly__drone]

Your videos are great! I expect your channel to really take off soon:)

[Onyx-itgk]

Awesome video, thanks! As a long-time Neovim user, I recently moved to Helix. It still has a ways to go for full maturity, but it's very productive.

[parthrathod]

This was really cool, thanks man I am glad I watched this even though it is a python setup and I work on full-stack with node I can now make my own version and extend it when needed. Really appreciate this tutorial ❤

[wadechang]

Thanks for the tutorial. Very informative.

If it's active in the shell it should be active in neovim.
So just activate it with source venv/bin/activate and then enter neovim

[jasonmarch]

Long time vim user finally trying out nvim. Honestly what prevented me was my vim config. You spend so much time getting it how you like the last thing you want to do is dive into a new pool. This is just what I needed to get me to float quick thank you.

[jeffrey]

for python envs i currently use conda and dynamically just grab the path variable on lsp attach. I just always have the correct env activated before opening nvim. works well for me

[martingg]

Great video! May I ask what terminal you use? Looks so clean. I've started my journey on neovim but haven't found a terminal I like personally.

thank you for awesome video! i'm very noob on neovim. by the way i have one question for you from 22:47 on video. actually i want to connect with my conda env so i did 138 line as like ( env_path.join(vim.env.HOME, "/opt/homebrew/anaconda3/envs", "lab", "bin", "python") (lab is for my conda env name). but it seems like not working for me. i made test directory like as you did, and made test.py (also i ensured that i have been installed numpy in my conda env). when i import numpy, there are some error (Unable to import 'numpy' (import-error), Import 'numpy' could not be resolved). can you help me?

hi there

Sadly markdown-preview is not supported anymore
so I receive some failures

[lliliiliillliliiliili]

How do you get your moonlander to actually keeep its tilt? The wrist wrest doesn’t lock right?

[Qazi-itmo]

For some reason, pyright can't recognize pandas dataframes, even though it(maybe not pyright but something) is providing code suggestions. This has been a well documented issue in reddit by many people and I'm facing this too. How did you solve that?

[aleatoirealeatoire-sj]

Hi alex i'm in windows and i want to know how you do for install your IDE in Windows . I create a alias for change nvim in vim but for this stape ->
mkdir ~/.config
cp -r .config/nvim ~/.config/nvim
i don't know how i can do, in windows the neovim path is C:\Program Files\Neovim do you have an idea . thank you :)

[BadlyNeedAHug]

Any of you guys got an error when loading the Markdownpreview on lazy?
