clangd

22.1.1 verified Sat May 09 auth: no python

Binary wheels for clangd, a clang-based C++ language server (LSP). Version 22.1.1 wraps clangd 22.1.1. Useful for integrating clangd into Python environments without manual binary installation.

pip install clangd

Common errors

error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'clangd' ↓

cause clangd is not installed or pip install failed because no binary wheel matches the platform.

fix

Check supported platforms: https://github.com/jmpfar/clangd-wheel/releases. Use pip install clangd and ensure a compatible Python version (3.6+).

error AttributeError: module 'clangd' has no attribute 'ClangdServer' ↓

cause clangd does not provide a Python class; it is a binary distribution.

fix

Access the binary via clangd.__path__[0] + '/bin/clangd' and call it with subprocess.

Warnings

gotcha clangd is a binary wheel; no Python API is provided. You must invoke the clangd binary using subprocess or similar. ↓

fix Use subprocess.run([clangd.__path__[0] + '/bin/clangd', '--version']) to verify.

deprecated Versions prior to 22.1.0 used a different packaging structure; importing clangd as a module might behave differently. ↓

fix Upgrade to >=22.1.0 via pip install --upgrade clangd.

Imports

ClangdServer
```
import clangd
```
clangd does not export a separate class; the module itself provides access to the binary path.

Quickstart

Print clangd version via Python.

import clangd
import subprocess
print(clangd.__version__)
subprocess.run([clangd.__path__[0] + '/bin/clangd', '--version'])
