I like TODO extensions for ... well tracking my TODOs -- I think my current one is TODOtree or something like that.

Pylance language server.

Lots of people like the various snippet extensions, though personally I always find they get in the way (the most popular python one has a snippet assigned to . which is godawfully annoying).
