Getting most recent version of python extension

[mwoodpatrick]

I'm running vscode on NixOS in WSL-2 and my python extension is showing that the most recent version of the extension is 2024.12.3 but the extension website is showing several versions in May of 2025 why isn't vccode listing these versions?

@mwoodpatrick you might need to update the version of your VS Code. Sometimes, python extension depends on new APIs from VS Code so we set minimum version of VS Code needed to use that. Then if your version is of VS Code is older than that, you will only see up to the supported version on python extension.
