Windsurf Pyright

Windsurf Pyright provides language server features, including type-checking and semantic highlighting, for Python in Windsurf. It is a fork of basedpyright, which is a fork of pyright.

This extension is only supported within Windsurf.

Modifications to basedpyright include:

• Disabling the refactoring code during file renames.
• Reducing the default strictness of the type checking to better match PyLance.
• Disabling inlay hints by default to match PyLance, and because they interact with autocomplete.

Windsurf Pyright uses config settings from pyrightconfig.json, or [tool.basedpyright] in your pyproject.toml.

While we recommend Windsurf Pyright, basedpyright or pyright are also functional alternatives.

Our thanks go to the original authors for pyright and basedpyright. The documentation for basedpyright is included below.
