Description:
It seems that the upstream repository (palantir/python-language-server) is unmaintained, and there is a community-maintained fork at https://github.com/python-lsp/python-lsp-server. Do you have any plan to switch to that package?

Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  We'll probably remove the package sometime soon.

I concur with this suggestion, as 'community/python-language-server', this package (rightly or wrongly) enjoys a certain default or officialness, and as mentioned in the issue OP linked, discovering this is hard.

It's not really even a 'fork' in the normal sense, it's just person solely responsible left org, continued open source project under a different org.

Further, this package is the dependency of all the plugin packages (black, mypy, isort), necessitating their reincarnation in the AUR updated to point at aur/python-lsp-server (the 'fork').

The namespace is different so it’s not a drop-in replacement, but we do provide https://archlinux.org/packages/community/any/python-lsp-server/ now.

I think the old one should stay until all projects depending on it have moved to lsp.
