Python extension not loading correctly

[dschartman]

I'm experiencing weird loading behavior of the python extension in code server 3.6.2 and 3.6.1. Basically, the extension doesn't load at all. However, if I pull up the developer console, the extension loads after refresh.

Steps to reproduce

1. Spin up code server

    if [ -d .local ]; then
        rm -rf .local
    fi
   
    mkdir .local && chmod 777 .local
    docker run -it --rm -v ${PWD}/.local:/home/coder/.local -p 80:8080 codercom/code-server:3.6.2 --auth none --log trace
   

2. Go to localhost

3. Install python extension

4. Create and open test.py file

5. Refresh page and confirm extension does not load

6. Open the developer console (F12)

7. Refresh page and confirm exension loads

Here is a screenshot of what I see after step 5:

After step 7:
