On this topic, can anyone share their Python setup for Neovim?

I used ALE and Deoplete + a bit of Jedi and got frustrated with it breaking / working much worse than ST3 and just removed all the plugins.

I use CoC.vim [0] with whatever Python plugin they recommend and it's easily been the most painless autocompletion I've ever used in over a decade of Vim. I wrote some (admittedly pretty basic) Python with it last week with no complaints!

Thank you, will check it out!

The python plugin that is recommended has switched from `pyls` to the Microsoft Python Language Server (the same one that powers the Visual Studio Code Python extension), written in C#. The extension comes bundled with a .NET Core interpreter.

I use LanguageClient-neovim[0] with pyls[1], tests are run using `:make` which populates the quickfix list with errors. I also heavily use the location list which gets populated with errors and warnings etc. automatically by LanguageClient-neovim. All of this is accessible through convenient keybindings.

Status bar is lightline[2] with a custom theme, which I haven't gotten around to pushing yet. I can share it if you are interested. Other than the colors on the bar everything should work.
