Notes

This issue can be reproduced in VS Code: Yes/No

I don't have VSCode installed locally, and would prefer not to install it, sorry

This is possibly related to #2675 or microsoft/vscode-python#14959. It may also be a limitation of Coder's internal extension marketplace

[code-asher]

Fingers crossed this might be fixed. 🤞 #2341 (comment)

I think this might be because the Python extension version we ship right now needs code-server 3.9.1/VSCode 1.53.
Can you try on the latest version?

I think this might be because the Python extension version we ship right now needs code-server 3.9.1/VSCode 1.53.

Can you confirm context of "versoin"? Version of code-server or version of extension?

[jsjoeio]

@ediphy-dcottrell I believe here @oxy is referring to the latest version of code-server: 3.9.1

I was able to get Python working with version (code-server 3.9.2 109d2ce3247869eaeab67aa7e5423503ec9eb859 ) of code-server by doing these in order

1. Disable extensions.autoUpdate ( label Extensions: Auto update )
2. Downloading version ms-toolsai.jupyter-2020.11.358541065 of jupyter and installing it ( you can google the whole string )
3. Downloading version ms-python.python-2020.11.358366026 of python and installing it

This project is so great , it gives me the same excitey feelings as emacs, so great.

I am also unable to start python.
local os = Windows 10
remote os = Oracle Linux 7.8
vscode server 1.54.3

installed extensions

• Python v2021.3.680753044
• GitLens v11.3.0

Error message:
Cannot activate the 'Python' extension because it depends on the 'Jupyter' extension, which is disabled. Would you like to enable the extension and reload the window?

However Jupyter is not supported on VS Code Server (see my related issue in microsoft/vscode-jupyter#5342 (comment)) and I can not install that extension remotely.

[jsjoeio]

@trir262 what version of code-server are you using?

I added this to an upcoming milestone. We'll investigate.

[trir262]

I hope I have the right version : 1.54.3
I looked in .vscode-server/bin/2b9aebd5354a3629c3aba0a5f5df49f43d6689f8/package.json

[jsjoeio]

Ah, yes, that's the VS Code version. I meant the code-server version. Here's where you can find it:
