Support choose local pyright version like typescript? about pylance-release HOT 4 CLOSED

@zhuangzhuang, can you provide more details about why you want to use Pylance with a local fork of Pyright? What is the use case you have in mind? This can help us explore potential solutions that meet your needs.

Typescript is a different situation because it's a stand-alone compiler, so it's important to be able to select the language service provider independently of the compiler. Pylance and pyright serve the same purpose — they're both language service providers. Pylance offers a few additional features, but it is otherwise the same as Pyright.

I thought pylance has use pyright as library. but seems not.

for this moment, pylance was release at 2020/7/1,but pyright release yesterday.

Pylance is built with Pyright, but it's linked together into a single web-packed bundle. Pylance overrides some of the classes in Pyright to provide additional functionality (e.g. Intellicode compatibility).

Pyright is published on an ad-hoc basis (no well-defined cadence or release guarantees), whereas Pylance goes through a more formal build and release process on a regular cadence. When Pylance is published, it picks up all the latest changes from Pyright.
