Don Jayamanne (@DonJayamanne) thanks for getting back to me.
I followed the steps you outlined. The issue I described is now happening again. It doesn't look there is anything pertinent in the Python output log. Here is it's contents:

Pylint still shows the imports I mentioned as being unresolved:
Michael Daw (@michaeldaw) Please could you test this once again with the latest version of the extension. This will ensure you are using the latest version of the Language Server as well.
I'll do so as soon as I can. Thanks.
I'm currently on the latest version. 2019.1.0.
Should I bring this up on the Python Language Server repo?

I'm not a python expert, so I hope this is the an appropriate place to comment on this issue.
Environment data
Expected behaviour
When using the Python Language Server for auto-completion, intellisense should be provided for built-in modules (eg: os, json, binascii, etc).
Actual behaviour
Intellisense is not shown for many (but not all) built-in modules. Examples of modules that don't have intellisense are os, json, and collections. Other do show intellisense, like binascii.
Pylint reports "unresolved import" for the 'missing' modules. However, scripts containing these modules run normally.
When using the Jedi auto-completion system, all these modules have the expected intellisesnse.
If scripts
Steps to reproduce:
I'm using Python distributed as part of Autodesk Maya. I've set up "python.pythonPath" and "python.autoComplete.extraPath" so that auto complete is working for my own modules and for the modules provided by Maya.
Logs
Output window doesn't mention anything other than the initialization message and pylint "rating".
Again, I'm not an expert, but from what I can tell, the Jedi auto-complete comes from modules that are stored in a zip file called python27.zip that resides in the same folder as the python executable (called 'mayapy.exe'). I wonder if the Jedi system is capable of extracting intellisense from modules stored in this archive while the Python Language Server is not.
In the image below, the module binascii has intellisense, but os, json, collections, and gzip were not able to be resolved.
