Bug with no suggestion on the code

Describe the Bug

Recently, I realized that I can no longer get code suggestions in imports or in the code itself.
I was using VSCode, and when I hovered over a Python class or function with the mouse, it would tell me, for example, what that function expected as input, or more simply, if I started typing an import, it would help me with the names of the files, classes, and functions within it.
Now none of that works.
We can’t go on like this.

Steps to Reproduce

Go on a python file and try to get suggestion for an import or a function.

Expected Behavior

Code suggestion like intellicode

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

I don’t program in Python, but for C# I needed an extension. So maybe check that. Also could you share a screenshot of what your bottom right status bar looks like when in a python file? It should show that its in python language mode I would assume, and maybe that its in your python solution/project or something (not familiar with python, but if my C# solution/project is not showing in the bottom right then I don’t get intellisense).

Might need this extension if you don’t have it already or check if it somehow got disabled, maybe try reinstalling it if you already have it.

Hey, thanks for the report! Let’s troubleshoot the Python IntelliSense issue.

Please share:

  • A screenshot of the bottom status bar with a Python file open (the Python version/interpreter should appear on the right)
  • A list of installed Python extensions (open the Extensions panel and search for “Python”) a screenshot would help

In the meantime, please try:

  • Check the Python interpreter: Cmd+Shift+P → “Python: Select Interpreter” → select your Python version or virtual environment
  • Ensure these extensions are installed:
    - Python ms-python.python
    - Cursor Pyright anysphere.cursorpyright search for “Cursor Pyright” in Extensions
  • Reload the window: Cmd+Shift+P → “Developer: Reload Window”

If this doesn’t help, we may need to reinstall the Python extensions or check for extension conflicts.

Let me know what you find.

And intellicode i can’t find it in extensions

I had same issue - installing Cursor Pyright did help me.

I assumed Python ms-python.python is enough - I was wrong

Thanks
