An unofficial stub generator for vapoursynth and its plugins, which is helpful to autocomplete code in VSCode.

1.(Onekey install) Place the whole folder VapourSynth-Plugins-Stub-Generator at the same path of python.exe of vapoursynth.

run the onekey install.bat.

Done!

2.(Install manually) At first, you need to have a python with vapoursynth installed. You can check it with

python -c 'from vapoursynth import core
print(core.version())'

Then run the command:

python vs_plugins_helper.py

A file called vapoursynth.pyi should be created. Move it to where your language server or library like Jedi can recognize.

For VSCode users, there are some simpler way to generate the stub file.

For Pylance or Microsoft Python Language Server users, run the command to install the stub file:

python vs_plugins_helper.py install vapoursynth

For Jedi or JediLSP users, run the command to install the stub file:

python vs_plugins_helper.py install vscode

Files in .vscode folder might be helpful to set up VSCode.

1. Install VSCode, then install Python extension and Pylance in VSCode extension market.

2. Paste the settings.json to the user settings folder¹ or work area settings folder². This will enable the python code highlighting and autocompletion.

3. Paste the tasks.json to the user settings folder¹ or work area settings folder², and paste the keybindings.json to your vscode user settings folder¹. This will enable shift+f5/f6 hotkeys as f5/f6 in vsedit.

4. Remember to change "path\\to\\your\\VapourSynth\\python.exe" in settings.json and tasks.json to your own python interpreter.
