pylance sometimes looks into excluded folders like "~/.pyenv"

Type: Bug

Behaviour

Sometimes pylance reports a ton of issues in ~/.pyenv files like functools. This appears and disappears for no reason.

For example this is Problems tab:

while this is .vscode/settings.json:

  "typescript.tsc.autoDetect": "off",
  "prettier.printWidth": 120,

}

Steps to reproduce:

I don't know why it happens some times and not the others. It appears and disappears with no trigger. After I finished reporting the issue all Problems disappeared.

Diagnostic data

Output for Python in the Output panel (View→Output, change the drop-down the upper-right of the Output panel to Python)

Python output is quite unhelpful

Sometimes pylance reports a ton of issues in ~/.pyenv files like functools. This appears and disappears for no reason.

Was functools.py open in VS Code at the time? As a document tab?

@debonte No, it was not open. But I was working with GitHub Copilot at Agentic mode. Maybe it was causing some issues?
