I have an issue with VS Code which I recently installed in my MacOS BigSur.
I tried out the Jupyter Notebook extension and in their documentation it says that they have full intellisense support for this extension as well.
Intellisense in Jupyter Notebook in VSCode works well for completing variables, functions,methods,etc....
The only issue I have is that I am not able to get the arguments/parameter information, though it is working fine with the python extension of VSCode
I tried out things like Shift+TAB...which works in JupyterNotebooks(not the VS Code version).
Is this a bug that I am facing...or is it just like that. Can you also please suggest as to how to make this work.
Edit May 12, 2021: With the Pylance language server (now the default), I now get parameters and type hints.
According to this issue on GitHub, the arg/param info is not supported on stable VS Code. It looks like you need to use the "Native Notebook" in VS Code Insiders (the beta) and use the "Pylance" language server Extension.
I haven't tried this solution myself (not sure I want to install Insiders), but just changing the language server to "Pylance" at least gives you signatures.

I've been using gitpod's OpenVSCode Server recently, which is mostly based on VSCode. I looked at some of VSCode's documentation on Github, but I don't know how this is implemented. It seems that VSCode's official vscode server is not public. May I know how to package VSCode source code as vscode server?
I've tried many ways, but it doesn't work
I noticed that I have many extensions installed that I don't recall manually installing, e.g. isort, jupiter cell tags, etc.
I only installed the "python" and "jupyter notebooks" extensions myself. Those others seem to be installed later without my knowledge.
Does VS Code install extensions automatically somehow?
To answer the general question
Yes, VS Code does come with some extensions installed "out-of-box". It calls those extensions "Built-In" extensions. If you open the extension page of one of those extensions, it will say:
Notice: This extension is bundled with Visual Studio Code. It can be disabled but not uninstalled.
One example of this is the vscode.typescript-language-features extension. You can get a list of all running with the Developer: Show Running Extensions command. It's kind of hard to find them otherwise, since they don't normally show up in the extensions sidebar.
In your particular case, you misunderstood something
The Python and Jupyter extensions you installed are extension packs. They include isort and Jupyter Cell Tags (as well as others).
You can see for yourself.
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-python.python:
The Python extension will automatically install the Pylance, Jupyter and isort extensions to give you the best experience when working with Python files and Jupyter notebooks.
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-toolsai.jupyter:
The Jupyter Extension will automatically install the following extensions by default to provide enhanced Jupyter notebook experiences in VS Code.
Jupyter Keymap - to provide Jupyter-consistent keymaps
Jupyter Notebook Renderers - to provide renderers for MIME types such as latex, plotly, vega, etc.
Jupyter Cell Tags and Jupyter Slide Show - to provide the ability to tag cells in notebooks and support for presentations
As suggested in the description of the Jupyter Miscrosoft extension for Visual Studio Code (VSC), I come here to ask you about support for cell metadata in jupyter notebooks. It seems nothing is currently available for adding cell metadata and, thus, using the papermill extension when writing python notebooks with VSC.
The last message in this 2019 github discussion, dated 2021-05-28, points to this other discussion where on 2021-05-13 someone suggested to use the Jupyter Powertools extension.
However, as of today 2021-10-03, that extension seems not to be compatible with either of my VSC versions:
VSC 1.60.2
VSC Insiders: 1.61.0
with no updates available for either one of them (using Windows 10).
Is there any way to use papermill with VSC? If not, are you aware of any papermill alternatives for parameterizing notebooks while using VSC?
Thanks
I find extension Jupyter Power Tools that can add tag by click icon tag+ left beside icon python. But it failed in vscode version 1.660
Update - Jupyter Power Tools is now deprecated and functionality to be included within MSFT's Jupyter PowerToys extension. A tags interface / cell metadata editor does not appear to have been included, but they have an open issue here.
I am unable to get Python extension working with fresh install of VS Code / Python 3.7.3 on Windows 10.
VS Code status bar shows a message 'Python extension loading...' continuously.
Python is installed in a non-standard path at c:\Programs\Python\Python37-32\python
Have uninstalled both VSCode and python several times and had installed afresh.
C:\WINDOWS\system32>which python
/c/Programs/Python/Python37-32/python
When developer tools is opened, the following error shows up in console.

OK - I deleted the VS Code profile folder
'%APPDATA%\Roaming\Code
and installed fresh extension along with miniconda, and it is working fine.
This seems to be an annoying problem that is caused by other extensions. Best way I fixed mine was:
To disable all the extensions
Enable ms-python extension
Reload vs-code and voila, it's all fixed
I also had this problem. But I fixed it by changing the location of the python file.
I'm making a vscode extension for my personal use. I'd really like to use a more recent node version. However, I'm not sure how does VSCode chooses which node version to use.
The only node.js that I have installed is 8.1.3. But when I debug the extension, I see that VSCode uses 7.*.* (via process.version).
I've been searching documentation for an hour, so far, without luck. Any help is appreciated.
This is not possible. Quoting the reply of one of the team members (Andre Weinand) in #18253:
VS Code runs extensions on the node version that is built into electron (on which VS Code is based). This cannot be changed.
