I installed VS Code and have been working on it for a while. I've been facing a small problem. The syntax highlighting for the python code is not working. I'm still not familiar with the setting or if I'm doing something wrong. I have attached an image of the problem.
Heres an image that shows what's wrong
Save your file as a .py so VScode knows it's looking a python file and can highlight the syntax accordingly.

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.
I recently started learning python for data analysis and decided to use VS code for its new Jupyter notebook feature. I installed the extension for python and jupyter notebook in VS code but for some reason my interface is very different from the one in the new update.
I understand this is a small issue but, It's really throwing me off. Can someone please let me know what I am doing wrong here?
Thank you
Seems you're using VS Code Insider, check if it's titled as Visual Studio Code- Insiders:

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

I’m new to visual studio code, just switched from sublime text 3. I was writing a simple if statement and when I write else: like that, on ST3 it would move the else to under if but this doesn’t happen with vscode. I’ve tried everything and looked everywhere but doesn’t seem to work. Any ideas of why? Or does vscode really lack this basic fundamental feature?
This is a known issue that requires a non-trivial implementation of a custom indentation provider.
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:
