I get this issue on the latest pre-release version.
krsambhav commentedon Nov 21, 2022
can you check your debug logs, maybe your extension is hung up after
conda info --jsonline. If it is, then you have a problem with conda.eleanorjboyd commentedon Nov 21, 2022
Hello! We want to confirm we received this issue and will get back to you, thanks!
karrtikr commentedon Dec 12, 2022
Thanks for the logs, unfortunately it doesn't seem like it's sufficient to figure out why the text could be stuck, we would probably need to add more logging to figure out why it's stuck.
We investigate issues in order based on priority and severity, which includes the impact it has on your ability to use the extension to do productive work, and the number of people affected. If other users come forward and leave a comment demonstrating they are seeing/reproducing the problem then we will raise this issue's priority. Thanks for understanding and the patience!

I'm facing the exact same, when I open VS Code the python extension doesn't work at all (no intellisense, type checking, linting, references) and it is forever stuck in 'Discovering Python Interpreters'.

RohilH commentedon Jan 26, 2023
I am also experiencing this issue after changing my virtual env to have a different version of python. When on a python file, it shows that my virtual env is set to the correct python binary, but intellisense, type hinting, hovering over functions, nothing works. It also has the discovering python interpreters text stuck in the bottom.
Debug logs:
Update: After trying to uninstall and reinstall all my extensions and VSCode itself, I was able to get my intellisense running again after reverting the python extension's version back to v2022.14.0. Hope this helps anyone seeing this issue.

Because we have not heard back with the information we requested, we are closing this issue for now. If you are able to provide the info later on, then we will be happy to re-open this issue to pick up where we left off.
