How do I solve the problem?: You don't have an extension for debugging Python. Should we find a Python extension in the Marketplace?

Question

When I run python from vscode liveshare it says 'You don't have an extension for debugging Python. Should we find a Python extension in the Marketplace?’.

The problem appeared despite completely deleting and reinstalling vscode and reinstalling the python extension.

According to this issue on github.

This is because Liveshare uses a virtual file system when the files you're working on aren't local, and supporting complete intelliSense on a virtual file system isn't feasible atm. Closing this as it is working as expected.

You can try to disable Live Share extension then rerun python file.
