Autopep8 is not formatting python files.. errror reads- Skipping non python code:

Question

Out of no where autopep8 is not working in VSCode. Im pretty new to all this btw.

Every time I try to format a .py file with autopep8, I get a crazy notification saying that autopep8 is skipping non python code. Then it lists the .py files I am working on. People have been saying in other solutions to edit the .json file. Where is it? it doesnt seem to be listed in the manage settings It worked perfect last week.....

I expect some type of formatting, indentations, recognize that I am currently attempting to format python code.

letters = ["a", "b", "it"]

    letters.append("d")
    letters.insert(0, "-")
    letters.insert(3, "f")
     print(letters) #Why wont it remove this indention? How is this not considered python code?
