1. Using a Python 3 LSP server with Python 2 code works (more or less)

Using a Python 3 LSP server with Python 2 code works (more or less) — utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks · 8h ago · ⭐ 17/30

Maintaining legacy Python 2 codebases poses challenges for modern development tools, as most Language Server Protocol (LSP) servers now target Python 3. The author details their experience using a Python 3-based LSP server to edit Python 2 code in GNU Emacs, noting that features like code completion, navigation, and linting mostly work but can produce false positives or miss Python 2-specific syntax. The main issues arise from incompatibilities in syntax and standard library differences between Python 2 and 3, which sometimes lead to misleading diagnostics or missing features. Despite these limitations, the setup is serviceable for day-to-day editing.
