Description

On File > New File > Python file I get the following hints. This is a lot of text/hints in the empty file and the Select Language doesnt feel very useful to me since I just selected to create a new Python file. We also dont contribute a template/snippet so the last one isnt actionable.

Can we clean up what is presented here?
