Research direction

Start with the reported VSCode 1.47.3 and macOS Catalina details, then reproduce the Save-As behavior described in the issue and inspect the attached screenshot. Compare the behavior before and after uninstalling MagicPython and a clean VSCode install. Done means determining whether MagicPython caused the .gyp association and restoring or documenting the expected .py save behavior.

Description

Installed MagicPyton on VSCode. I found no benefit in using MagicPython. I uninstalled the extension, but now my "save-as" (for Python) is stuck on "gyp" and does not allow "py" extensions.

I completely uninstalled VSCode (using AppCleaner). Reinstalled VSCode, but the issue remains. Somehow, installing MagicPython modified the defaults on my computer.

Can someone please explain how I can get VSCode (or my Mac) to start saving files using the "py" extension?
Thanks.
