How to prevent the repetition of object name for Python using autocompletion in VSCode?
I am using VSCode for writing Python code in a Jupyter Notebook. The relevant extensions installed are Python, Pylance and Jupyter. The problem occurs when I try to use tab to autocomplete method names for any object. For example, if the suggestion box looks like this:
and I press Tab to accept the suggestion, the object name database is repeated i.e the code looks like dataset.dataset.as_numpy_iterator instead of dataset.as_numpy_iterator. How can I remove this object name duplication? Thanks!
After wasting a lot of time searching for a fix, I tried using the latest Insider's build (instead of the stable build) of VSCode and surprise surprise - it did not have this issue. Moreover, even in the stable build, it occurs only in Jupyter Notebooks and not in standalone .py files. I am posting this as an answer so that other people don't have to waste more time on this!
