Pylance not loading

Bug Reports
1

Hey,

I am facing this issue where I am not able to load pylance.

And i keep getting this popup:

“Cannot activate the ‘Pylance’ extension because it depends on the ‘Python’ extension, which is not loaded. Would you like to reload the window to load the extension?”

Even after replacing things seem to be broken.

Try removing both Python and Pylance extensions completely, then reinstall them in this order:

  1. Install Python extension first
  2. Restart Cursor
  3. Install Pylance

This should fix any version mismatches that might have happened during the VSCode import. If you’re still having issues after that, check out our troubleshooting guide for more steps
