Vscode needs to install extensions to complete more functions. For python, you need to install the Python extension, which includes the Pylance extension, which can bring intellisense and auto-completion.
If you are just getting started with vscode, this document is a good start.

In my case, it was due to using the FOSS version of code, with the marketplace adjusted to find and install the Microsoft Python plugins. They were installed but silently failed on certain actions.
On EndeavorOS (Arch based) I removed code-1.96.0-1 and installed visual-studio-code-bin-1.96.4-1 via yay and reinstalled my plugins.
I was pleasantly surprised when suddenly autocomplete was working and things like refactor didn't say "no refactoring available", and was able to go to definition and actually find usages. Apparently you just can't do this on the FOSS version even when you manage to get the Microsoft Python plugin installed.

I'm using VS Code to create my Python programs (to study) and I noticed that the amount of code you write has autocomplete already filled in. I wanted to know if this is good or bad and how to disable it because I searched on the internet and it didn't work, at least in my VS Code.
I use PyCharm for years and one of its great strengths is its autocomplete of methods from imported modules (and the fact that it suggests importing a module for you when it is not).
I use vscode for some coding at it looks brilliant, except that the autocomplete is really poor. See for instance https://i.imgur.com/HTCThNv.png where I imported the module arrow and expected its methods to show up after the dot. Not only nothing showed up but when I clicked on the bulb some nonsense suggestion appeared.
This happens in PyCharm: https://i.imgur.com/3XS11xL.png
I really, really would like to switch to vscode but this part is painfully missing.
I tried to add all kinds of plugins but none managed to do that - is there a way to have autocomplete provide useful suggestions for methods in modules?
If you tried both language servers and VS Code made you reload then you have tried the options currently available to you from the Python extension. We are actively working on making it better, though, and hope to having something to say about it shortly.
But if you can't wait you can try something like https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-pyright.pyright as an alternative language server.
It might be a problem related to Pylance. By default, Pylance only looks for modules in the root directory. Making some tweaks in the settings made sure everything I import in VSCode works as if it's imported in PyCharm.

I have installed python 3.6.5 and Django 2.0.4 on windows 10 OS.
In vs code open command palette (Ctrl+Shift+p).
There select Python:Select Interpreter
Close your vs code and then try. If it still does not work. Try again by changing to:-
Python:Build Workspace symbols and re-open the vs code. That's all i did and got intelligence enabled.
Old question that worth another working answer:
In settings.json, set the value of python.jediEnabled to false (see some more details here).
P.S. You can also try and move back to Jedi (just remove python.jediEnabled or set it to true), and in my case, Intellisense keeps working, though much slower.
Anyone can suggest what is good plugin to autocomplete for Python?
Vscode, Vim and emacs? I have tried vscode.
Vscode does not autocomplete my own module.
I just learned about autoDocstring last night and I'm blown away how nice this extension is. It makes creating docstrings so much easier and automated. Personally, I'm a fan of Google's style for docstrings so that's what I've set my default to when generating docstrings!
Another favorite extension of mine is this linter: Ruff. However, it is a bit buggy in that it duplicates functions at the bottom of the file, but other than that I love it!
Lastly, this is not an extension, but I love the Black library and auto-saving my .py files with this formatting provider in VSCODE.
I'm curious what this communities' favorite extensions are that make coding in Python easier or automated?
Hi!
I'm having issues with trying to find a solution for function autocomplete. In Pycharm when I write:
class Test:
def test(self):
....the part where I define a function it automatically adds (self) to the function. I want to make vscode act the same way, but I haven't had any luck finding what I should turn on or where should I do the edits etc.
Does anyone know how to achieve this?
Thank you!
