I have a Python repo that I’m working on in VSCode.

The repo structure is like this:

main_repo
-- utils
---- client
------ my_client.py

my_client.py contains this code:

class CustomClient(DataClient):
    def __init__(self, client_type=None, lazy_init=False):
        self.client_type = client_type
        self._is_initialized = False  # Tracks whether initialization has occurred
        # Initialize eagerly if not lazy
        if lazy_init is False:
            self.initialize()

    def initialize(self):
        """Explicitly initialize the base class if lazy_init=True."""
        if not self._is_initialized:
            super().__init__(...)  # initialization logic
            self._is_initialized = True

    @staticmethod
    def SpecificClient(lazy_init=False):
        """Factory method to create a Client of a certain type."""
        return CustomClient(client_type="foo", lazy_init=lazy_init)

So, the idea is that I can create a client like this:

client = CustomClient.SpecificClient(lazy_init=True)
client.initialize()

The client initialization triggers a web page for SSO login, and the issue is that this is happening every time I save a file in the IDE.
So, I imagine there is some background process that is checking the code, goes through the client.initialize() calls and executes them upon saving.

I tried changing the initialize method to:

    def initialize(self):
        """Explicitly initialize the base class if lazy_init=True."""
        stack = inspect.stack()
        for frame in stack:
            if "pylint" in frame.filename or "mypy" in frame.filename:
                return
        if not self._is_initialized:
            super().__init__(...)  # initialization logic
            self._is_initialized = True

but it’s still launching the SSO everytime.

I tried disabling the extensions, I left only the ones shown in this picture, but I still have this issue:

Any suggestions?
