Is there any way to use the python extension to edit files that reside on a remote server? I have tried NFS and remoteFS, but I do not see any way to get Intellisense working using the remote installation. I normally edit and test on a windows machine, while the target runs on Linux. 
I realise this is not limited to this extension, but is a more general issue.
As a workaround, I'm using a Linux Hosted virtual machine which has a similar setup as the target. This works surprisingly well. It is a shame VMware 12 removed support for unity.
Visual Studio Code use on remote files
