Type: Bug

I'm running code version 1.81.1 and python 3.11.3 using Arch linux. I've tried the pre-release and release version of the python extension with identical results. The python extension won't load properly, the log shows an error as soon as I open any python workspace:

2023-08-17 10:19:17.604 [error] [ 'Failed to activate a workspace, Class name = g, completed in 256ms, has a falsy return value, Arg 1: , Return Value: undefined', [TypeError: this.context.getEnvironmentVariableCollection is not a function at _.activate (/home/user/.vscode/extensions/ms-python.python-2023.15.12221007/out/client/extension.js:2:440573) at /home/user/.vscode/extensions/ms-python.python-2023.15.12221007/out/client/extension.js:2:2386 at Array.map () at g.activateWorkspace (/home/user/.vscode/extensions/ms-python.python-2023.15.12221007/out/client/extension.js:2:2376)] ]

A lot of stuff won't work (including the "Python: Report Issue..." command, but also basic stuff like auto completion, Ctrl+Click to jump to definitions, ...). I'm not sure if the cause of this is actually the error above, but I couldn't find anything else that looked suspicious. There were no issues before I recently updated from version 1.79.2 to 1.81.x.

I did not find any other reports that look similiar to this, so I'd guess it's an issue somewhere on my side. However, I was unable to find a solution, so I still ended up filing an issue to receive some support.
