I posted here, but just want to crosspost in case you are able to answer it better python-lsp/python-lsp-server#553

In short: Under the hood python-lsp-ruff and ruff-lsp do the same thing, namely calling ruff for linting errors and code actions. However python-lsp-server also provides access to other features, such as go-to, object renaming etc, while ruff-lsp can 'only' do what ruff itself provides.
So to answer the question on python-lsp/python-lsp-server#553: While you can have both pylsp-ruff and ruff-lsp running, I would recommend using on or the other. I am also not sure if there is a specification on how editors should handle multiple LSPs so not sure if they could interfere with each other.

Thank you!

The Pyright LSP provides those things as well, right? If I'm using PyRight for renaming and go-to, would I want Ruff as well?

Yes, pyright also allows for renaming etc. In this case I would go for pyright (type checking, goto) + ruff-lsp (linting, formatting)

@Shane-XB-Qian I use NeoVim with the language servers: pyright and ruff_lsp.

I am still using python-lsp-server with this plugin, and for me it works great.

If I switched away from python-lsp-server, though, I'd probably go for jedi-language-server and ruff-lsp.

I haven't gotten too into type checking yet, regrettably. Might need to look into pyright.
