I also experienced other problems with the Python extension, which started yesterday. I have the exact same versions as you, except for the OS: Darwin arm64 24.4.0.

It looks like this error is similar to this issue in the upstream Python extension. Could you run the command Python: Clear cache and reload window and see if that helps?

Thanks so much @ravirahman! Python: Clear cache and reload window indeed resolves the issue.
