@qu1ck Are you using jedi or Language Server? Check your settings and see if jediEnabled is set.

@karthiknadig I'm not using jedi.

This would be 💯. Unfortunately my company still has a bunch of legacy code in Python 2, and although we try to use type comments wherever I always get sad when I switch over to one of these projects and lose autocomplete/jump-to-def (I use https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-python-ms/)

This is unlikely to happen. We are mostly working on Pylance LS (which does not support Python 2) and Python 2 is at the end of life. For Python 2 Jedi is the option.

Feasibly you can run pyright (the core of pylance) in emacs, as it supports these sorts of annotations as of last month, but that's not really a supported method.
