Asen (@Asendaushoe) could you share:
Developer: Reload Windowfix it temporarily?python.useEnvironmentsExtensionset to true, and is ms-python.vscode-python-envs installed?Asendaushoe commentedon Jul 21, 2026
It appears that
python.tracehas been deprecated, so I used"python.analysis.logLevel": "Trace"instead.Empty
Developer: Reload Windowfix it temporarily?No
python.useEnvironmentsExtensionset to true, and is ms-python.vscode-python-envs installed?python.useEnvironmentsExtensionis not set, and ms-python.vscode-python-envs is installed.In addition, the extension works fine when I open the folder containing this file in VS Code, but if I open the file directly, it doesn't work.
