I would just like to add a few helpful links:

Intellicode Issue 57

Intellicode Issue 266

Gitmemory issue 486082039

For a lot of people, it just began working after a few tries randomly. See this text (quoted from issue 57):

There’s a race condition in the activation of both the IntelliCode and Python language server extensions. Even if the Python extension is loaded, the language server that the extension spins up might not be fully initialized yet. So if the Python extension loads, then the IntelliCode extension, then the Python language server initializes, we will have this problem.

For some people, it was working to reload VS Intellicode pack following the reinstall the Python extension pack.

Thank you.

  1. Make sure to have Pylance installed (intellisense support for Python)
  2. Make sure to be into the tab for any python file For VS Code, and locate the {} Python icon on the bottom row. Click over the {} icon, and then click over Select Interpreter. Just after that, make sure to input the desired python path, wait for a few seconds in the current python tab, and finally Pylance will be doing its job

  • First of all find your Python installation path
  • Copy it

Then in VSCode

  1. Open settings
  2. Extensions
  3. Python
  4. Default Interpreter Path

And paste the full path to your Python installation folder.
For example:

X:/Program Files/Python310

If it didn’t work immediately, try reloading VSCode.

(P.S. Should work without any reloads)

Go to Extensions, then search for the Python extension, then switch to release.
