We are pleased to announce that the November 2021 release of the Python Extension for Visual Studio Code is now available. You can\u00a0download the Python extension<\/a> from the Marketplace, or install it directly from the extension gallery in Visual Studio Code. If you already have the Python extension installed, you can also get the latest update by restarting Visual Studio Code. You can learn more about Python support in Visual Studio Code<\/a> in the documentation.<\/p>\n

Last month we focused on housekeeping GitHub issues and pull requests. We reduced our open issue count by 20% by closing (triaging or fixing) 288 issues! If you\u2019re interested, you can check the full list of improvements in our changelog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As part of this release, the Microsoft Python Language Server has reached end of life.<\/p>\n

The Microsoft Python Language Server has reached end of life<\/h2>\n

In September, we announced<\/a> that the Microsoft Python Language Server would be reaching end of life as of the November 2021 release of the Python extension. Since then, we\u2019ve encouraged our remaining legacy language server users to switch to a supported language server \u2013 either Pylance<\/a> (our default and recommended language support) or Jedi<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As of today\u2019s release, all remaining users who have not chosen a new language server have been flipped to the default language support for Python in Visual Studio Code \u2013 Pylance. If at any point you want to try a different language server, you can do that by updating your settings.<\/a><\/p>\n

We again want to thank our Microsoft Python Language Server users for their feedback over the years. You all have helped make Python in Visual Studio Code what it is today!<\/p>\n

Other Changes and Enhancements<\/h2>\n

We have also added small enhancements and fixed issues requested by users that should improve your experience working with Python in Visual Studio Code. Some notable changes include:<\/p>\n
