ale_python_pyls_options

[n8henrie]

pyls is conspicuously missing from the list of python linters that supports additional command line arguments:

$ curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dense-analysis/ale/master/doc/ale-python.txt | awk '$1 ~ /^g:.*_options/ { print $1 }'
g:ale_python_autopep8_options
g:ale_python_bandit_options
g:ale_python_black_options
g:ale_python_flake8_options
g:ale_python_isort_options
g:ale_python_mypy_options
g:ale_python_prospector_options
g:ale_python_pycodestyle_options
g:ale_python_pydocstyle_options
g:ale_python_pylama_options
g:ale_python_pylint_options
g:ale_python_reorder_python_imports_options
g:ale_python_vulture_options

It's been discussed in the context of changing the pyls configuration, but my use case (and I suspect the more common use case) would be for invoking pyls as a module, like this example in the documentation for flake8 .

For some reason my python install loses its pyls executable frequently, even though the module remains and is still works fine with python -m pyls. I've tried let g:ale_python_pyls_executable = "/usr/local/bin/python3 -m pyls" but this doesn't work. Being able to follow the example of several other python linters and use:

let g:ale_python_pyls_executable = 'python3'
let g:ale_python_pyls_options = '-m pyls'

seems like it would do the trick. I'd be happy to work on a PR if this seems acceptable.

Yeah, add a pull request for it. Just make it clear what the difference between _config and _options is, in the documentation.
