I am also facing this issue in the remote development. Plugin reinstalled. Spotted 2024-01-05 10:52:01.448 [warning] Via 'product.json#extensionEnabledApiProposals' extension 'ms-python.python' wants API proposal 'registerIssueDataProvider' but that proposal DOES NOT EXIST. Likely, the proposal has been finalized (check 'vscode.d.ts') or was abandoned. in the Output -> Window, but no idea if that's related. – Frascati

Answer 1

For me, shifting from restricted mode to trusted window mode worked.

Just click on the restricted window on the bottom and just select "Trust" in the pop up window.

Click on the python extension via the extension window then you'll probably see restricted on the footer bar below the area of the screen that scrolls. It's towards the left side. Click it and it will give you the option to go use trusted mode – Kitkitchen

Thank you, this was the answer for me as well! – Meir

Answer 2

In my case, I solve it by clicking the "Extensions" button in the left sidebar of VSCode and "Reload" python. (which will show a blue reload button in the lower left corner of Python's block, just click it)

It works for me!!

Answer 3

I suggest 2 ways to fix this, first uninstalling and reinstalling the extensions. On Linux (and MacOS I believe), deleting ~/.vscode/extensions/ and then manually reinstalling will help. If that does not work you can try manually setting the python interpreter (see: vscode documentation on manually specifying an interpreter).

In my case this happened when usig Remote SSH extension and doing Python development on a remote server. The issue was caused by Datadog agent that corrupted any application on the server.

Answer 7

In my case, none of the above described solutions worked.
I updated the VS code and reloaded the window and that resolved the issue.

Current VS code version is 1.85.2.
