VS Code IntelliSense for variables in Python

Question

I am a little bit new to python in Visual Studio Code. I was wondering how IntelliSense works for variables in python.

If I have:

var1 = "abc"

Then if I type var1.xxx I will get a lot of IntelliSense suggestions such as .split. .replace and many more.

but if i do

var1 = input()

Then this would also be considered a string, but now if I type var1.xxx I get no IntelliSense at all. In, for example, pycharm I would still get a lot of IntelliSense functions here also.

Are my VS Code settings not correct, or is this simply the way VS Code works?

If you are at least using the Microsoft language server 0.3.59.0 (beta) then you will get the expected IntelliSense:
