Prettier doesn’t support python.

For others who have met the same warning, please try to set a language-per formatter for python.

If you are like me who wants to use prettier for javascript as well as black for python, and you already have prettier set as the default editor for all languages in vs code via
"editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode", you can set formatter specific for python:

    "[python]": {
        "editor.defaultFormatter": "ms-python.python",
    }

ms-python.python refers to the extension - python build by Microsoft which offers formatter options for python language. The options covers:
autopep8,
black,
yapf,
none
