I also experience problems with autocompletion at the moment. I’m
considering to switch back from company to auto-complete-mode, but I shy
away from the re-configuration effort at the moment.

I always use Emacs for Python, just python-mode with pyflakes via
flycheck. But I’m only doing small stuff in Emacs (having switched to
Guile Scheme/Wisp for my hobby stuff).

I have not checked lsp for Python. My experience with lsp for Javascript
is that they are a bit sluggish — I prefer an Emacs native solution
where it exists.

Example for that (though other language): Working with js2-mode+eslint
via flycheck is superior to lsp/tide-mode in my opinion. I feel the
difference, because I’m in a codebase transitioning to Typescript, and
the user experience in plain Javascript with js2-mode is better. lsp has
more bells and whistles, but js2-mode is precise and instantly at my
fingers.

Best wishes,
Arne
