VSCode with Python Extension April 2019 - "Python Extension Loading..."

Question

I am unable to get Python extension working with fresh install of VS Code / Python 3.7.3 on Windows 10.

VS Code status bar shows a message 'Python extension loading...' continuously.

Python is installed in a non-standard path at c:\Programs\Python\Python37-32\python

Have uninstalled both VSCode and python several times and had installed afresh.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>which python
/c/Programs/Python/Python37-32/python

When developer tools is opened, the following error shows up in console.

property 'length' of undefined

(Posted solution on behalf of the question author).

OK - I deleted the VS Code profile folder

'%APPDATA%\Roaming\Code

and installed fresh extension along with miniconda, and it is working fine.
