Hi,

I get the following error message when using the configuration

let g:python_indent.closed_paren_align_last_line = v:false

Error detected while processing BufReadPost Autocommands for "*":
Error executing lua callback: /usr/share/nvim/runtime/filetype.lua:35: Error executing lua: /usr/share/nvim/runtime/filetype.lua:36: BufReadPost Autocommands for "*"..FileType Autocommands for "*"..function <SNR>1

However, according to `help: ft-python-indent`, python_indent should be used
for various configuration. Also listed in that help section are config
variables for backwards compatibility pyident_XXX, these still work.

Seems like nvim's help disagrees with nvim.


Cheers,

Bastian

That's a file in your home directory, not something shipped by neovim.

Cheers,
