Pylance does not work with cursor

[naingthet]

As of the latest update, I have been completely unable to use pylance with cursor IDE. Here are the error logs from Pylance output:

Same issue here. Seems to be related to using pylance out of VS code. I was getting this error:

Update: What fixed this for me was going to the extensions tab and restarting the python / pylance extensions

Unfortunately, that did not fix it for me, but using https://github.com/DetachHead/basedpyright seems to work fine.
