Indeed it is very nice: I gave it a shot on a Python project, and will surely
try it again.

One thing that surprised me is that it asks about launching the underlying
"pyls" tool once for each visited source: is that right? As my project has
hundreds of Python modules, wouldn't that put Emacs under pressure?

One minor observation on the lisp sources: I think it's not necessary to
explicitly quote lambdas as in the following snippet

  (lsp-define-client 'python-mode "python" 'stdio #'(lambda () 
default-directory)
    :command '("pyls")
    :name "Python Language Server")

Thank you,
ciao, lele.
