I've been using VS Code from a week and I want to use VS Code built-in Python snippets but it is not working for me. I've tried JS snippets and it is working fine in VS Code but Python snippets are not working.

In VS Code, the auto-completion function of python code is provided by the extension pyhon and language service. At present, it supports more prompts of a single code instead of auto-completion of snippets.Jill Cheng– Jill Cheng2021-02-15 02:52:31 +00:00Commented Feb 15, 2021 at 2:52

Found the answer:
It seems they decided to remove code snippets from the python extension in the last update: changelog in vscode
They may be added back in the future but for now i would suggest just using the python snippets extention: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=frhtylcn.pythonsnippets
Install the Python extension for VS Code from the Visual Studio Marketplace(Link)
To verify that you've installed Python successfully on your machine, run one of the following commands (depending on your operating system):
Linux/macOS: open a Terminal Window and type the following command:
python3 --version
Windows: open a command prompt and run the following command:
py -3 --version
- From within VS Code, select a Python 3 interpreter by opening the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P), start typing the Python: Select Interpreter command to search, then select the command. You can also use the Select Python Environment option on the Status Bar if available (it may already show a selected interpreter, too)
