Or something else? My branch https://github.com/ebresie/netbeans/tree/nbpython_integration3 had code mainly from the hg code with tweaks to make it a cluster, updated headers using the Netbeans tools, and a few other updates. I was on pause with expectations of picking up (and redoing) once the donation was available (which why I keep asking about the status). Is that what is meant?

I’ve been toying with a work in progress on new LSP Python implementation. For the reference to Python LSP in the above PR, is there some other Python LSP in work (if so who is doing so as the more the merrier)? Or was this pr using Python LSP to test the change? Or was this intended to use the pr with WIP to further verify the PR? > Greetings > > Matthias Thanks for the input Eric -- Eric Bresie ebre...@gmail.com
