This is a issue with VSC not refreshing after expression evals. see comment for more details: microsoft/ptvsd#1356 (comment)

@YoniChechik Apologies for the delay. I've re-opened the upstream issue, hopefully we'll get to the bottom of this.

Closing as the upstream issue has been resolved in VS Code.
