Why is VS Code showing "windll Windows only: Creates ()" intellisense suggestions? - python

While writing Python code on VS Code, it is showing suggestions like:
windll Windows only: Creates ()
I have tried to see if this was coming from snippet extension I might have installed but I don't think I have any... can anyone shine a light on why I am getting his code completion nonsense?

I had this same issue, every time :, ., def, or if is typed, there's annoying suggestions that don't make sense. I found out it's the Python Extended extension that's responsible for this. It seems to be reported on it's GitHub issues page, but for now I would disable the extension as it doesn't seem to be working at all for me. I recommend PyLance as a replacement.

It's the extension problem.
You have installed the extension named: Python Extended inside your vs code and you will need to uninstall it.
It works well on my editor after uninstalling this extension.

Python note book autocomplete not working in VSCode with environment being CVE

I have done some research, but none of the solutions work for me and it seems that my situation is much worse than everybody else. Currently, my VSCode editor is just acting like a plain text editor for any ipynb files. For example, this is how my import block looks like:
Nothing has been highlighted, and I'm working with this for quite a long time and now I can't bear with this anymore. If this is not bad enough, then take a look at the following:
Literally, nothing happens. I think now the only help I get from VSCode is plain text auto-completion, but that is far from what anyone should have.
The configuration is pretty simple. I have the following kernels I can choose from:
And I'm mainly using anaconda3 for my kernel. Further, I only have
in my setting.json for python configuration.
As for extension, I have the standard python extension with python extension pack installed, which are the only two extensions I installed for python.
I'm really tired of working with plain text python code, if any information is needed, I can provide as much as I can.
-- Edit
It seems that the default language is not python, but CVE. Futhermore, I can't find the proper language to choose. All the language options are listed below.
The error happened because of the extension Dependency Analytics. Please uninstall it and reload window.
Reference: jupyter conflict with Dependency Analytics.
Click here and select Python.
CVE seems to be the default language for notebooks for some reason. Please check the settings.

How to prevent the repetition of object name for Python using autocompletion in VSCode?

I am using VSCode for writing Python code in a Jupyter Notebook. The relevant extensions installed are Python, Pylance and Jupyter. The problem occurs when I try to use tab to autocomplete method names for any object. For example, if the suggestion box looks like this:
and I press Tab to accept the suggestion, the object name database is repeated i.e the code looks like dataset.dataset.as_numpy_iterator instead of dataset.as_numpy_iterator. How can I remove this object name duplication? Thanks!
After wasting a lot of time searching for a fix, I tried using the latest Insider's build (instead of the stable build) of VSCode and surprise surprise - it did not have this issue. Moreover, even in the stable build, it occurs only in Jupyter Notebooks and not in standalone .py files. I am posting this as an answer so that other people don't have to waste more time on this!
It looks like provided by some extension you have installed. Such as Tabnine AI, Kite and so on. But I can't reproduce it on both of them.
I can't get to know which extension provides it in your picture, it looks like was cut off in your picture. But it does not provide by the Python extension.
I bumped into the same issue. Simply disabling and re-enabling the Jupyter Keymap extension solved my problem.
Judging from the lack of related search results, this issue seems to occur only under some rare circumstance...

Why aren't my imports for Python working in VSCode?

First of all, I am new to both Python as well as the world of VSCode (recently moved over from Atom). I will also say that I am using an Early 2014 MacBook Air running macOS Catalina. I really do love VSCode! It's amazing in many ways, but this... this is just too unclear.
Okay, I have tried literally almost everything and I don't understand why my imports won't work! I have looked at the documentation on the issue on Github (I will say I may have something with the directory wrong there, referring to the docs). I have tried the "python.autoComplete.extraPaths": [], thing. I have tried changing my (virtual) environment and, of course, setting up a new one myself. I have tried setting "python.languageServer:" to Jedi and back to Microsoft. I can't even find the "python.jediEnabled: false" comment that everybody is telling me to uncomment.
Yet, my imports are still "unresolved (Microsoft language server)" or "not found (Terminal)" or "unable to be imported (Pylint)". It just makes me so angry and I don't understand what I've done wrong!
I've seen modules like pygame and requests work just fine on VSCode for many others (YouTube), yet mine has yet to work.
Can someone please tell me the secret that I don't apparently know? Thanks.
Update Post: My Virtual Environment is using my System Python rather than my Venv's Python
Thank you for everyone who has helped (so far). I am getting a lot closer to solving this. ^-^
They had removed "python.jediEnabled" setting instead of "python.languageServer", you can refer to here.
Maybe you haven't installed the package which you want to import, because you had used the wrong 'pip'. When you select the right environment, you need to activate it(Ctrl+Shift+`), otherwise, you'd use the wrong 'pip'. You can type 'pip --version' to check which 'pip' you are using. Then you can try to install the package you want to import.

VS Code Python Syntax Highlighting Only Half Working

I've been using both VS Code and Sublime for a while now. I mostly do my python coding in Sublime and I have recently decided to try out VS Code. One issue though.
The syntax highlighting for python is not functioning in the manner I would expect. Here is a .py file opened in both VS Code and Sublime for comparison:
Sublime Text:
VS Code:
When comparing the VS Code syntax highlighting to that of Sublime, it appears to only function half correctly.
Tons of stuff that I would expect to receive some form of colored formatting such as function calls, function parameters etc all just appear as white text.
After looking at loads of VS Code python tutorials online, it would definitely seem something is wrong with my setup as everyone else seems to receive function calls/function paramters/etc syntax highlighting.
Troubleshooting progress so far:
I have the VS Code python extension installed.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling VS Code.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Python extension.
I've tried installing the magicPython
extension.
Ensuring I have both python2 and python3 installed on my machine
Color theme is currently Dark+, however this behavior occurs with all
color themes.
Made sure the file ends in .py
I'm running on a Mac, if that's relevant.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
i think you just need to change your theme

PyDev does not highlight and autocomplete Numpy correctly

I am using a mac, I set up all the external libraries through PYTHONPATH, I tried setting it through Pydev interpreter as well.
It simply does not work. The odd thing is that pydev is highlighting the syntax as error, but when I run the code, it works perfectly. I am out of ideas of what the problem might be. I used to program in java with eclipse, and once you set up the external libraries all the highlighting and autocompletion is working. With pydev I have no idea what is wrong.
Here is the image of the wrong highlighting:
There's a similar problem with importing wxPython with PyDev Aptana Studio 3. Based on the research I did then, PyDev has a hard time validating new imports when a module has recently been downloaded. This means that there is just a bug in PyDev, so it would be a good idea to report it.
As for the solution, from what I've found a useful link with a ton of answers that should fix your problem. There's some detailed instructions but the fix that I found was towards the bottom someone said to try wx = wx after importing wx. This worked for me, but may not work for you so here is the link if you need a better answer:
Undefined variable from import when using wxPython in pydev
