The actively maintained version has been rewritten in Rust and lives at pls-rs/pls on GitHub. Signs of the stale PyPI listing include a 404 homepage and a silent GitHub redirect. To get the correct version, uninstall the Python one and install the Rust build instead, e.g. via Homebrew with `brew install pls-rs/pls/pls`. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
