I've been using the python-lsp-server to analyze a Python project and extract symbol definitions and references. The server works well for explicit imports, but I've encountered an issue when dealing with wildcard imports (import *).
Example:
Consider the following code structure:
# utils.py
def check_files_in_directory():
pass
# main.py
from utils import *
def main():
check_files_in_directory()
When I try to resolve the check_files_in_directory function in main.py using the LSP server, it fails to determine its origin due to the wildcard import.
What I've tried:
- I've successfully resolved symbols for explicit imports, e.g.,
from utils import check_files_in_directory. - I've checked the LSP server's capabilities and ensured I'm sending the correct requests.
Question:
Is there a way to make python-lsp-server resolve symbols imported with wildcard imports effectively? Do I have to set some configuration? For my case, even if it takes time or slow to resolve it, that is not a problem.
Wildcard imports can be challenging for static analysis tools since they obfuscate the origin of symbols. I'm looking for a solution that can handle this scenario, whether it's a configuration or a combination of strategies.
