VS code does not handle escaping braces in f-strings

[NOTE: If you suspect that your issue is related to the Microsoft Python Language Server (python.languageServer: 'Microsoft'), please download our new language server Pylance from the VS Code marketplace to see if that fixes your issue]

Expected behaviour

Should correctly parse f-strings with escape sequences

Actual behaviour

Shows an error with a valid f-string

Steps to reproduce:

Add this code to a py file:

enum_name = 'Foo'
print(f'export enum {enum_name} {{')

In this case {{ is the expected python escape sequence to be able to add a { to the output, but VS code is expecting it to be a variable substitution. The code works as expected while executing through the python without errors, it is only the editor showing that the valid syntax is invalid that is the problem

I don't see a syntax error here, are you referring to the coloring?

I believe that's handled by VS Code's TextMate grammar for Python, but I do not see this when I write the same code:

But, you're also missing any sort of coloring at all on the variables, which implies there's something else wrong.

[jakebailey]

Without bracket pair colorization:

Thanks for the report. Could you please add the information in the report as described in the troubleshooting guide?

[arobinson]

I'll check my extensions, but in my screen shot you will see the closing parenthesis in red instead of yellow

the coloring issue is on textmate. except that, I dont see any issue on the repro code. parser is parsing the code correctly.
