How to enable intellisense for python in Visual Studio Code with anaconda3?


I have installed python 3.6.5 and Django 2.0.4 on windows 10 OS.

In vs code open command palette (Ctrl+Shift+p).

There select Python:Select Interpreter

Close your vs code and then try. If it still does not work. Try again by changing to:-

Python:Build Workspace symbols and re-open the vs code. That's all i did and got intelligence enabled.


Old question that worth another working answer:

In settings.json, set the value of python.jediEnabled to false (see some more details here).

P.S. You can also try and move back to Jedi (just remove python.jediEnabled or set it to true), and in my case, Intellisense keeps working, though much slower.


This is how I got Python intellisense to start working in VS Code:

  1. open up the Terminal (View menu => Terminal)
  2. type conda init powershell
  3. restart VS Code

After that, Python intellisense started working correctly for me.
