One year ago a saw a similar issue was logged, but I am not sure of how to move forward. I have dissabled/removed all other extensions. Could you offer suggestions? A different version of vs code or the extension?

Thanks,

@robertknox Can you check the extension folder should be somewhere at "/home//.vscode/extensions" folder and see if there are multiple versions. You may have to close VS Code to delete some of the copies of "ms-python.python*". Please do ls on /home/<user>/.vscode/extensions and share the results.

I was so stymied be all this I uninstalled everything and reinstalled vscode. I uninstalled all extensions and just installed the mv vscode extension, and, so far, things are working. Thank you very much for your interest. I suppose I should, or you should, close the issue? -r On Monday, April 6, 2020, 6:33:21 PM PDT, Karthik Nadig <notifications@github.com> wrote: @robertknox Can you check the extension folder should be somewhere at "/home//.vscode/extensions" folder and see if there are multiple versions.
