List of functions in Python script being edited in Kate?

[Tony Dunn]

I've never managed to get a LSP for any language working with Kate, and would welcome someone with a working config for (say) Python sharing that for instructional purposes.

I got pyls and everything else from pypi and did pip3 install 'python-language-server[all]' so the whole collection of flake8, pycodestyle etc were installed, but the docs are a bit too vague (for me) to extract what needs to be done with the LSP config so Kate can connect and take advantage of what the LSP can do.

Thanks

Tony
