Visual Studio Code - Intellisense not working on SSH server even though it's installed

Question

So for some reason my intellisense is not working.

I tried the solutions suggested here Visual Studio Code: Intellisense not working .

The solution that seems to help most people is adding "python.autoComplete.extraPaths": [ "${workspaceFolder}/customModule" ] , didn't work. Also VS Code says it doesn't recognize python.pythonPath when I add it.

Auto-complete not working, screen capture didn't capture my cursor, but it's right after argparse. , which should give the option to auto-complete with a list that includes: ArgumentParser :

Remote server installed extensions:

Settings.json This is settings.json on remote server

    "python.languageServer": "None",
    "python.analysis.completeFunctionParens": true,
    "python.analysis.diagnosticMode": "workspace",
}

Setup:

• Running using Conda env
• Linux remote server

Note: Something else off is my "find declaration of function or class" is also not working.

4. set your python.pythonPath to the path returned in your terminal for which python3
