Intellisense Issue

Issue Type: Bug

Behaviour

Expected vs. Actual

Python Extension giving syntax errors for perfectly fine code. For a statement like def function_name():, it shows a syntax error. After the latest update, the intellisense does not seem to be working.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Tried restarting VS Code several times. Also tried deleting and re-installing VS Code. No change. Tried disabling and uninstalling the extension as well.

I use VS Code with WSL, and the intellisense does not work with the normal powershell as well.

Steps to reproduce:

1. XXX

I’ll try switching it up. I will post the update here after switching, and then I am gonna close this issue.

Thanks for all the assistance. I’ll post it over there ASAP

@karthiknadig

I think I figured out the issue. I have too many files and folders in my directory. I tried opening another remote WSL window and it works there. So, I am assuming that to be the issue.

Thanks for all the assistance.
