This release renames the the package name (for PyPI and importing) to pynvim.
import neovim is still supported as an alias for backwards compatibility, but new API users should use import pynvim.
Unfotunately, due to limitations in pip, the neovim package cannot be safely upgraded with pip install --upgrade neovim on all systems. The safest option to upgrade is
pip uninstall neovim
pip uninstall pynvim # only if you tried to upgrade already and it failed
pip install pynvim
At this point, it is safe to pip install neovim again, if any third-party package depends on it. Otherwise it shouldn't be necessary.
For a new install, it is enough to use
pip install pynvim
This release is otherwise functionally identical to pynvim 0.3.0, except for an improved error message.
Changes since 0.3.0:
