When you open a Python project, the recommended Python extension is Microsoft's proprietary Python extension with Pylance which refuses to run on VSCodium or Linux distribution builds of vscode-oss. I refused to install it, so I didn't test whether you can enable the older open source LSP instead. And I couldn't find any other Python extensions sadly.

- foldr 5y agoAh, that is interesting. I admit that I was unaware that so many of Microsoft’s extensions were proprietary.
