@Felix-Meyer Support for 3.7 is dropped in pre-release. Please use the older version of python extension if you want to continue to use 3.7, or upgrade your environment to 3.8 or greater.

[Felix-Meyer]

Sorry what am I supposed to upgrade? My Python or my VS Code?

[karthiknadig]

@Felix-Meyer Upgrade your python environment. when creating the environment with conda you can say conda create -n <name> python=3.8

[triplepoint]

So I guess "There are no plans to actively remove support for Python 3.7, and so we expect the extension will continue to work unofficially with Python 3.7 for the foreseeable future" literally meant "we're breaking python 3.7 support in the very next release" ? Thanks, y'all.

If the underlying tool drops support for 3.7 we can’t do anything from the extension to prevent it. In the case files by the user, Jedi-language-server dropped support for 3.7 while adding support for 3.12. If we try and support 3.7, 3.12 would break.

you can always use extension version pinning to keep using older version of the extension until you can migrate out.
