Does just running pyls not work for you?

Doesn't seem like it. I install it without sudo so it probably shouldn't work in my case and in general

Did you make sure pyls is in your path?

No, because i didn't know where it was located. Now i see that it's in ~/.local/bin/pyls on my system and it's not in my $PATH.

I propose this change because it looks like this method (python -m pyls) is less ambiguous and error-prone. May be i'm wrong so please feel free to correct me

Less error-prone is right. I don't have ~/.local/bin/pyls on my computer. but python -m pyls works. pip show -v python-language-server enabled me to guess that it was in /usr/local/bin, which is in my path.

But I didn't know that command. And had to alias it to "python-language-server" for my editor plugin to find it.
