IntelliSense and formatting not working on a fresh install

Environment data

VS Code version: 1.18.1 Python Extension version: 0.8.0 Python Version: 3.6.1 OS and version: macOS Sierra 10.12.6

Actual behavior

I just installed vscode and the python extension. I don’t get any auto completion or auto formatting. I have the following in my settings.json

{
    "python.pythonPath": "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/bin/python3"
}

Expected behavior

Expect to see autocompletion and autosuggestion when I type os. after import os.

Steps to reproduce:

• install vs code on osx

• install python extension

• IntelliSense not working

• I also tried Python: Select Interpreter. I get command 'python.setInterpreter' not found.

To whoever lands on this issue from Google: Reinstall the extension 😃

@DonJayamanne Isn’t there a way for vscode to loudly complain if an extension is broken and throwing errors in the console, hinting at reinstalling it? It’s a reach for users to jump in the devtools when some extension functionality is not working correctly.

Please could you try reinstalling the extension.
