vscode settings - VS Code is in an infinite loop suggesting configuration of Python formatter

Question

VS Code is in an infinite loop suggesting configuration of Python formatter. Every time I try to run my py script, a popup suggests configuration of a formatter and gives me 3 choices (autopep8, yapf, or black). Once I select one, I get an error message like the below - so this never resolves.

Currently, I'm running Python 3.8.5.

$  /usr/bin/env C:\Users\brad\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\python.exe 
 c:\Users\brad\.vscode\extensions\ms-python.python-2021.1.502429796\pythonFiles\lib 
\python\debugpy\launcher 61631 -- c:\Users\billj\scripts\test1.py
