The "yapf" extension is configured to format programs, but not "Python"-files.

I'm using vscode, I have yapf installed and configured as per the instructions for formatting .py files.

I created a test.py file, which I opened with vscode and then right clicked and chose to format the document.

Then vscode prompted me with this message, "The "yapf" extension is configured to format programs, but not "Python"-files."

This is a strange problem, I don't know what's happening, it's not working.

@Zacharia2 - Do you mean yapf can format other program languages? But it not work for .py file ? Can you show some output of the yapf.

@Zacharia2 - hi, I switch the version of vscode to 1.83.1 and reproduct it. It seems cause you click the knob when yapf extension is starting. It works when this message appears in the output

Can you try it again, or show me the output of yapf channel

Please use Python 3.7 or greater.

It looks like it's because I chose the wrong python interpreter.

I use conda as my python environment.

I switched to the proper python interpreter and the problem was solved, thank you very much for your reply.

For vscode, probably the Python Environment Manager plugin will manage the python environment better. Using this plugin to quickly switch to the right python environment can solve this problem.
