Please could you provide some more information on this.
What process was consuming the memory? (Vscode, python)
Were you using some special library/ environment in Python?
Were you debugging done application?
Were you using the application for a long time?

Thanks for the updated info,
one last question, is this something you experience quite often or was this something you experienced once?

[iddan]

Only experienced once

I experienced similar problem - python eats whole memory
When i put cursor on function sometimes i see popup with information about this function, but sometimes i see just "Searching.." and then python starts to eat whole memory

VS Code version: 1.18.1
Python Extension version: 0.8.0
Python Version: Python 2.7.12
OS and version: Linux Mint 18.2

This indicates there a problem with the built in language server (running in python).

Next time this happens, please could you go into the console window under Tools-> Toggle Developer tools menu and copy the contents of the console window.

Also, are any of you using any packages such as numpy, pandas or similar (a package that you believe might be considered large)?

I looks completion.py eats more than 6 GB of ram.
Currently I have wxPython and OpenCV.

[Edit]
And this happen only in this project (based on python 2.7). In project with OpenCv based on python 3 there is no problem.

As I suspected this is an issue with the Jedi library (davidhalter/jedi#843).
That being said we're still packaging an older version of the jedi library in the extension.

thank you for this plugin, it is so convenient. But I find it will cause Windows system and VScode become a zombie (CPU MEM utilization burst), so I disable the plugin and use Pycharm community as substitute. That is so sad.
I use it in Win7, VS Code version: 1.18.1 (1.18.1), Python Extension version: 0.8.0, python 2.7 & 3.6 venv
