Description
Activity
あいうえお (@aiueo-1234), I wasn't able to reproduce this with the instructions you provided above. Are you able to reproduce this issue on demand? If so, can you please reproduce it and then provide the contents of your "Python Language Server" log from the VS Code Output tab?
I'd also be curious to know if setting
python.useEnvironmentsExtensionto false fixes the behavior you are seeing.Yes, I can do that. "Python Language Server" log is below.

Pylance will not be restarted. Please check [this link](https://aka.ms/AApf7ox) for more details.Also, as you said, if I set
python.useEnvironmentsExtensionto false, the error no longer occurs.Reacted by Erik De BonteEleanor Boyd (@eleanorjboyd), FYI. I'm not sure if this should be transferred to https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python-environments, or if this is a Pylance issue.
transferring now as behavior changes with changes to the setting. あいうえお (@aiueo-1234) are you still facing problems? We have upgraded a lot of behavior on the extension since this point in July. Let me know and I can investigate further if you are still having problems!
I have now confirmed that this issue no longer occurs if I set
python.useEnvironmentsExtensionto true. Thank you.Reacted by Eleanor Boyd- locked as resolved and limited conversation to collaborators
