[davegaulke]

Edit: the error is

The number of constructor arguments in the derived class s must be >= than the number of constructor arguments of its base class

I've loaded the Microsoft python extension. Syntax coloring works, but code completion does not. I also get the error "command 'python.setInterpreter' not found" when clicking on the python interpreter at the bottom of the window. Remote server python is 3.8.3.

I'm having the same issue. I've tried reinstalling the extension and rolling back to an older version. No luck 😢

This is actually an extension problem and this version works https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python/releases/tag/2020.5.86806

Mine works after installing this one.

@EzzPrograms that works for me. Reverting to an old version enables the intellisense. thanks

@EzzPrograms can you post the version of the code server and python version you are using. I have downgraded still pylint shows import error

This is the python extension version I’m using: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python/releases/tag/2020.5.86806

For code-server, it should be the latest one.

finally I got the python extension to work by disabling Jedi (jediEnabled:false) and by setting PYTHONPATH env var . The PYTHONPATH was not getting picked up from the .env file by linter

Now both auto complete and linting works fine

@cmoog Lets revert this extension on the marketplace to the working version.

On code-server 3.8.0 I have to downgrade Python extension to version 2020.10 (the latest version is 2020.12) to make it work.

Same on code-server 3.8.1, have to downgrade to 2020.10. (Also the now latest 2021.1 still doesn't work).

Hey there - this issue is stale and the latest versions of Python/Jupyter work as of v3.10.2; closing.

Still an issue here. Activating the extension via the command Python: Select Interpreter does not show the window wherein I can select different Python executables. The status bar shows "Activating Extensions.." for a few seconds and disappears, but nothing happens after that.

code-server: v3.10.2
VS Code: v1.56.1
