The Python client for Neovim, providing a programming interface to control Neovim from Python. This package ('neovim') is a transitional package for 'pynvim' (version 0.3.1) and is deprecated; users should use the 'pynvim' package (current version 0.6.0) instead. The project has an active maintenance and release cadence of roughly once a year.

'import neovim' still works as an alias but is deprecated; use 'import pynvim' for new code.

Nvim

✓ from pynvim import Nvim

Connect to Neovim via Unix socket and evaluate a VimL expression.

import pynvim nvim = pynvim.attach('socket', path='/tmp/nvim.sock') print(nvim.eval('$VIMRUNTIME'))

Known issues

breaking'neovim' package on PyPI is deprecated/transitional. The actual library has been renamed to 'pynvim' since version 0.3.1. Continue using 'import neovim' works as an alias but may break in future.

fix

Uninstall both 'neovim' and 'pynvim', then install 'pynvim': pip uninstall neovim pynvim && pip install pynvim

affects: 0.3.1 and above

gotchaPython 3.6 support dropped in pynvim 0.5.0. Minimum Python 3.7 required.

fix

Upgrade to Python 3.7+ or use pynvim < 0.5.0

affects: pynvim >= 0.5.0

gotcha'pip install --upgrade neovim' may fail due to pip conflicts. Safest upgrade path: uninstall both 'neovim' and 'pynvim', then reinstall 'pynvim'.

fix

pip uninstall neovim pynvim && pip install pynvim

affects: all
