something went wrong activating IntelliCode support for Python+ Error while activating Python: {}

[MoElaSec]

Product and Version : VSCode
OS Version : Windows
IntelliCode Extension Version: v1.2.10
Target Platform or Language : Python 3.9 (I used to have 3.8 and same problem happened)

Steps to Reproduce / Scenario:

1.Open VS-Code
2. Wait for extensions to load

No this's different from this issue #57
non of what's said there or other similar issues fixed my problem the main difference is in the output as there's no info just stops and say: Error while activating Python: {}

• VS IntelliCode Output:
  

• the bottom of the long Python Output:
  

I have many similar Errors similar to the one shown above, this is a text for the complete output:

python_output.txt

• for reference this's all the python available on my Windows PC:

So I wasn't able to solve the problem but due to the fact I must work with flask for the time being I did the following:

• TLDR: worked with Jedi and abandoned IntelliCode😊

1. Disabled Visual Studio IntelliCode
2. in settings.json I wrote:
   "python.languageServer": "Jedi",
3. VS-Code prompts me that I should reload the python server so I clicked re-load.

& now everything is fine:

@savannahostrowski please can you take a look at this issue?

The error trace here seems to say that your VS Code version is too low. Can you upgrade to at least VS Code 1.51? (Your original post did not provide the VS Code version you are using.)

@MoElaSec did you have a chance to try @jakebailey 's advice? Are you running VS Code 1.51 or higher?

OK, thanks for getting back to us, and appreciate the info @MoElaSec . @jakebailey any further follow up steps possible here?

[jakebailey]

The next version of the Python extension correctly indicates its minimum version of VS Code to prevent installing it on incompatible versions, but if the issue was not fixed by updating, then we'd need a new stack trace to see what's going on.

For reference, the info would be the "Python" output logs that you had screenshotted in the original issue (as well as the VS Code version in use).

Hi Jake,
I am experiencing the same issue. In case it's helpful, please find the stack trace from the "Python" output log below.
I'd prefer to not abandon Intellicode and go with another solution, so I appreciate any insights you might have here!
Please let me know if you require any additional info on my behalf.
Thanks!

I think I fixed it - after upgrading VSCode, there wasn't a Python interpreter selected by default for some reason. I selected a Python interpreter and that seems to have fixed the problem. I'm not getting the same error message when loading VSCode or in the Python logs.
Thanks!

I have the same issue while running VS Code 1.54.1. Everything worked fine in 1.52.1, but failed as soon as I updated to 1.54.1. Python output for 1.54 and corresponding output for 1.52 attached.
