There are issues with formatting Python files in Codespaces due to deprecated settings.

If the user has the python extension installed with pylance and pylint and expected default installed formatters (with Microsoft Python related extensions), then they should be able to instantly format python files.

See #22363 #18743 #22412 also just open ANYTHING in a new vscode or ideally github codespace and try to format a python file. It offers to install a python formatter, like this extension, then after install continues to not have an installed available python formatter, purely because configuring settings in VS Code is painful.

Originally I was using this locally, but after realizing it's probably easier in a Github codespace I then found that's beyond help too.
Maybe try automatically migrating or remove incompatible settings, and merge in new defaults if required (like the default python formatter once installed as part of the Microsoft Python/Pylance extensions).

Recreation steps:

Create a new github codespace, pointing to repo tyeth/Adafruit_CircuitPython_PyCamera
Branch: wifi-qrsetup
Then goto examples/qrio-update-wifi/code.py and try to format the file.
Install top suggested extension for python formatters (Microsoft Python extension). Reload window.
Try to format file again, find there is still no formatter installed in theory.
