About six months ago, Microsoft launched Pylance, a "fast and feature-rich language support for Python," available in the Visual Studio Code marketplace.
Pylance depends on our core Python extension and builds upon that experience, for those of you who have already installed it.
Among its main features are type information, auto-imports, multi-root workspace support, and type checking diagnostics.
The name Pylance serves as a nod to Monty Python’s Lancelot, who is the first knight to answer the bridgekeeper’s questions in the Holy Grail.
