Changelog

2020.7.0-rc (8 July 2020)

Enhancements

  1. Support connecting to Jupyter hub servers. Use either the base url of the server (i.e. 'https://111.11.11.11:8000') or your user folder (i.e. 'https://111.11.11.11:8000/user/theuser). Works with password authentication. (#9679)
  2. Added "argsExpansion" to debugpy launch.json schema. (#11678)
  3. The extension will now automatically load if a pyproject.toml file is present in the workspace root directory. (@BrandonLWhite) (#12056)

  9. Prompt users that we have deleted pythonPath from their workspace settings when in Deprecate PythonPath experiment. (#12533)
  10. Changed public API for execution to return an object and provide a callback which is called when interpreter setting changes. (#12596)
  11. Allow users to opt out of us checking whether their notebooks can be trusted. This setting is turned off by default and must be manually enabled. (#12611)

  36. Make ipynb files change to dirty when moving/deleting/changing cells. (#7439)
  37. Initial collapse / expand state broken by native liveshare work / gather. (#7445)
  38. Converting a native markdown cell to code removes the markdown source. (#7446)
  39. Text is cut off on the right hand side of a notebook editor. (#7472)
  40. Added a prompt asking users to enroll back in the insiders program. (#7473)

Thanks

Thanks to the following projects which we fully rely on to provide some of our features:

Also thanks to the various projects we provide integrations with which help make this extension useful:

And finally thanks to the Python development team and community for creating a fantastic programming language and community to be a part of!

Enhancements

  1. Adds support for code completion in the debug console window. (#1076)
  2. Auto activate Python Environment in terminals (disable with "python.terminal.activateEnvironment": false). (#1387)
  3. Add support for activation of pyenv environments in the Terminal. (#1526)
  4. Display a message with options when user selects the default macOS Python interpreter. (#1689)
  5. Add debug configuration snippet for modules for the debugger. (#2175)
  6. Search for python interpreters in all paths found in the PATH/Path environment variable. (#2398)
  7. Add telemetry to download, extract, and analyze, phases of the Python Language Server. (#2461)
  8. The pvsc-dev-ext.py script now captures stderr for more informative exceptions when execution fails. (#2483)
  9. Display notification when attempting to debug without selecting a python interpreter. (#2494)

Fixes

  1. Improvements to the display format of interpreter information in the list of interpreters. (#1352)
  2. Deprecate the use of the setting python.autoComplete.preloadModules. Recommendation is to utilize the new language server (change the setting "python.jediEnabled": false). (#1704)
  3. Add a new python.condaPath setting to use if conda is not found on PATH. (#1944)
  4. Ensure code is executed when the last line of selected code is indented. (#2167)
  5. Stop duplicate initializations of the Python Language Server's progress reporter. (#2297)
  6. Fix the regex expression to match MyPy linter messages that expects the file name to have a .py extension, that isn't always the case, to catch any filename. E.g., .pyi files that describes interfaces wouldn't get the linter messages to Problems tab. (#2380)
  7. Do not use variable substitution when updating python.pythonPath. This matters because VS Code does not do variable substitution in settings values. (#2459)

  4. The new setting python.analysis.diagnosticPublishDelay allows you to control when language server publishes diagnostics. Default is 1 second after the user activity, such a typing, ceases. If diagnostic is clear (i.e. errors got fixed), the publishing is immediate. (#2270)
  5. Language server now supports hierarchical document outline per language server protocol 4.4+ and VS Code 1.26+. (#2384)

  5. Ensure test count values in the status bar represent the correct number of tests that were discovered and run. (#2143)
  6. Fixed issue in the language server when documentation for a function always produced "Documentation is still being calculated, please try again soon". (#2179)
  7. Change linter message parsing so it respects python.linting.maxNumberOfProblems. (thanks Scott Saponas) (#2198)

  19. Add support for breaking into the first line of code in the new debugger. (#2299)
  20. Show the debugger survey banner for only a subset of users. (#2300)
  21. Ensure Flask debug configuration launches flask in a debug environment with the Flask debug mode disabled. This is necessary to ensure the custom debugger takes precedence over the interactive debugger, and live reloading is disabled. http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/1.0/api/#flask.Flask.debug (#2309)
  22. Language server now correctly merges data from typeshed and the Python library. (#2345)
  23. Fix pytest >= 3.7 test discovery. (#2347)
  24. Update the downloaded Python language server nuget package filename to Python-Language-Server-{OSType}.beta.nupkg. (#2362)
  25. Added setting to control language server log output. Default is now 'error' so there should be much less noise in the output. (#2405)
  26. Fix experimental debugger when debugging Python files with Unicode characters in the file path. (#688)
  27. Ensure stepping out of debugged code does not take user into PTVSD debugger code. (#767)

A special thanks goes out to the following external contributors who contributed code in this release:

Enhancements

  1. Experimental support for PTVSD 4.0.0-alpha (too many issues to list)
  2. Speed increases in interpreter selection (#952)
  3. Support for direnv (#36)
  4. Support for pipenv virtual environments; do note that using pipenv automatically drops all other interpreters from the list of possible interpreters as pipenv prefers to "own" your virtual environment (#404)
  5. Support for pyenv installs of Python (#847)
  6. Support editor.formatOnType (#640)
  7. Added a zh-tw translation (#)
  8. Prompting to install a linter now allows for disabling that specific linter as well as linters globally (#971)

Fixes

  1. Work around a bug in Pylint when the default linter rules are enabled and running Python 2.7 which triggered --py3k checks to be activated, e.g. all print statements to be flagged as errors (#722)
  2. Better detection of when a virtual environment is selected, leading to the extension accurately leaving off --user when installing Pylint (#808)
  3. Better detection of a pylintrc is available to automatically disable our default Pylint checks (#728, #788, #838, #442)
  4. Fix Got to Python object (#403)
  5. When reformatting a file, put the temporary file in the workspace folder so e.g. yapf detect their configuration files appropriately (#730)
  6. The banner to suggest someone installs Python now says Download instead of Close (#844)
  7. Formatting while typing now treats . and @ as operators, preventing the incorrect insertion of whitespace (#840)
  8. Debugging from a virtual environment named env now works (#691)
  9. Disabling linting in a single folder of a mult-root workspace no longer disables it for all folders (#862)
  10. Fix the default debugger settings for Flask apps (#573)
  11. Format paths correctly when sending commands through WSL and git-bash; this does not lead to official support for either terminal (#895)
  12. Prevent run-away Jedi processes from consuming too much memory by automatically killing the process; reload VS Code to start the process again if desired (#926, #263)
  13. Support multiple linters again (#913)
  14. Don't over-escape markup found in docstrings (#911, #716, #627, #692)
  15. Fix when the Problems pane lists file paths prefixed with git: (#916)
  16. Fix inline documentation when an odd number of quotes exists (#786)
  17. Don't erroneously warn macOS users about using the system install of Python when a virtual environment is already selected (#804)
  18. Fix activating multiple linters without requiring a reload of VS Code (#971)

Code Health

  1. Upgrade to Jedi 0.11.1 (#674, #607, #99)
  2. Removed the banner announcing the extension moving over to Microsoft (#830)
  3. Renamed the default debugger configurations (#412)
  4. Remove some error logging about not finding conda (#864)
