I had this issue as well, but I don't think it relates to VSCodium specifically. It's a known issue with the Python extension. It was reported in microsoft/vscode-python#12429, and should be fixed in an upcoming release (via microsoft/vscode-python#12433).

In the meantime, you can switch to the Microsoft Python language server. It's open-source, Apache 2.0 licensed, doesn't require a connection to the Microsoft marketplace, and works with VSCodium. You just need to update your VSCodium _settings.json_, and it will download automatically.

Your _settings.json_ might have some entries like this:

{
  "python.jediEnabled": true,
  "python.languageServer": "Jedi"
}

The "python.jediEnabled" key is now deprecated, so you can remove it, and then change your language server to Microsoft:

{
  "python.languageServer": "Microsoft"
}
