Hello everyone,
I use Manjaro Gnome Minimal Editon and, after opening the Kate Appimage, see an LSP Client Warning.
How can I install pylsp ?
I do see “python-pylspci” in the AUR. Do I need to install it to enable LSP?
Thanks! 
Do you need that?
Look at the settings for configuration.

Thank you @megavolt
I ended up installing python-lsp-server and four of the optional dependencies for linting and code formatting.
Unfortunately, that wasn’t the environment I wanted to use and since VSCcodium is currently buggy (crashes on saving a file), I installed VS Code. That too didn’t work. Although the Python extension was installed, VS Code didn’t seem to “see” it.
Because I am working on a free programming course for which I need VSCdodium screenshots, I decided to install Windows 11 24H2 for the time being.
Based on using Linux since 1999, I understand that there are times when software goes through changes which can cause instability. For the last two years, VSCodium worked flawlessly.
I use Manjaro on all other computers so I will try/test VSCodium from time to time and hopefully, it will start working again as it used to.
Code OSS is available from the official Manjaro repository:
sudo pacman -Syu code
It might be worth trying that.
You also should be able to install kate from the official repository despite using Gnome.
Good luck.

I almost missed your suggestion because I didn’t understand right away that you suggested “Code” and not VS Code.
So I installed it from the Manjaro repositories but no joy. It’s not a big deal because, as I stated, I converted one of my PCs to W11 and managed to finish the application.
Here is what happened when installing Code:
I can still run Code and the text.py did run as it should have.
docbook.xml
Was this part of an extension? If so, it could be that you have not yet installed that extension in Code (a guess only). Otherwise, the missing docbook.xml would likely be attributable to DocBook itself, and not Code. Consider refreshing your mirrors.
Still, it might be nice to have Code working for future projects.
Cheers.
Hey @soundofthunder
The error window showed towards the end of the installation. I closed it and was able to use Code as in, it run without issues.
To close this off, I want to say that everything happens for a reason. Without VSCodium misbehaving, I would have NEVER tried W11 and now that I did, I learned that it’s OK to use both operating systems.
I still run Manjaro on 3 Pcs because it is the only Linux distro that can run Pinokio and LocalWP without problems plus, I have become a fan of the Meslo font and Pamac is the best there is. 
Yes. If you noticed, it was a warning window (despite it being listed as an error). This usually infers a condition that you might want to attend to, but doesn’t prevent an application from working.
It’s usually a good idea to make absolutely sure that an application isn’t in the repos before considering Flatpak or the AUR.
It certainly is; don’t let anyone tell you different. 
I use BSD, Debian, MacOS, Manjaro, and Windows; each either out of necessity or interest.

While that may be true, this forum software (Discourse) provides a specific method to mark a Solution to a thread; and that thread is then usually closed after the last comment, within a few days.
All you need do is decide which post ultimately helped you the most to find a solution, and mark it as such by clicking the tick directly below that post: .

Thanks for reminding me @soundofthunder
I just marked this post as solved.
Installing the python-lsp-server solved it and the suggestion came from chatgpt.
