VSCode python interpreter warning on built-in functions

Question

I am using VSCode within a dev container but the python interpreter is raising warnings about undefined variables for built-in functions such as len, range, str, and super.

Undefined variable: 'range' Python(undefined-variable)

What could cause this? What other diagnostic information would be useful?

Edit: Added the version I am using.

Please make sure you have have an up-to-date copy of the Microsoft language server installed or consider using the beta version by setting "python.analysis.downloadChannel": "beta". If that doesn't work then please report the bug to https://github.com/microsoft/python-language-server with example code showing the problem.
