Pylance requires you to set the Python PATH:
If you're in Mac/Linux, use:
Copywhich python3
And in Windows (Command Prompt cmd.exe):
Copywhere python
So that the path in which your Python is installed is returned.
Copy that path.
Go to your vscode and open the settings.json file (CTRL + SHIFT + P, and type "settings.json" at search bar)
Add the following key to the json file:
Copy"python.defaultInterpreterPath": "<PATH RETURNED ABOVE>"
The path may look like
"C:\\Users\\YOURUSERNAME\\anaconda3\\bin\\python.exe on Windows or "/usr/local/bin/python3" on Mac/Linux.
Note: backslashes in settings.json must be escaped with an additional backslash, so C:\Users becomes "C:\\Users".

Also, on some occasions, you might have configured your environment by adding custom paths that Pylance can not detect.
In that case, you can use the python.analysis.extraPaths parameter to add more paths to your project, such as :
"python.analysis.extraPaths": ["app", "another/path/etc"]

pylance reports missing imports when "pip install -e ."
Import "module" could not be resolved Pylance
pylance - Report missing import errors in VSCODE - Stack Overflow
'Import "Path.to.own.script" could not be resolved Pylance (reportMissingImports)' in VS Code using Python 3.x on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS - Stack Overflow

I have created a virtual environment and chosen the python version inside the virtual environment as my interpreter in vs code. However, when I import module the module name is underlined in orange and it says Import "module" could not be resolved Pylance(reportMissingImports) but the code still runs perfectly. (The code runs but the intellisense does not work)
When I use the global python version as the interpreter, the orange line is not longer there. Any advice on how to resolve this orange squiggle line?
Pylance, by default, includes the root path of your workspace. If you want to include other subdirectories as import resolution paths, you can add them using the python.analysis.extraPaths setting for the workspace.
- In VS Code press
<ctrl> + <,>to open Settings. - Type in
python.analysis.extraPaths - Select "Add Item"
- Type in the path to your library
/home/andylu/Dokumente/Allgemeines_material/Sonstiges/Programming/Python/Scripts/
Two methods below:
In VS code you can edit the
setting.jsonfile. If you add"python.analysis.useImportHeuristic": truethe linting error will be removed.The alternative is to add
# type: ignoreat the end of the import code.
Here is the github link that i got the above resolution from: https://github.com/microsoft/pylance-release/issues/68
It worked for me: python 3.9, VScode, windows10
Hello, I am new to coding and vs code, I recently had a system restore where I had to reinstall my vs code. After reinstalling, some of my old code stopped working because the (from file import *) does not recognize the file anymore. I have all my .py files in this one folder and it used to import other .py files in the folder perfectly fine. It is not just these two files either, if I make a new file and try to import that into another file it won't work either. Any help would be much appreciated.

Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P), then select the Python: Select Interpreter. From the list, select the virtual environment in your project folder that starts with
.env.Run Terminal: Create New Integrated Terminal (Ctrl+Shift+` or from the Command Palette), which creates a terminal and automatically activates the virtual environment by running its activation script.
Install
sqlalchemyandmongoenginewith commandpip install. Once installing them successfully, there will intellisense when you import them and no warnings shown.
Besides, the folder .vscode is to store Workspace settings as well as debugging and task configurations.
To resolve the issue, perform the following steps:
- Open the Command Palette by pressing Ctrl+Shift+P on your keyboard.
- In the Command Palette, select Python: Clear Cache and Reload Window.
I finally figured out what was wrong. There seems to be an open issue with LSP Notebooks experiment on vscode that affects Jupyter Notebooks in the editor. The solution seems to be to set the "python.pylanceLspNotebooksEnabled" flag to False which by default is set to True and it fixes the problem of this error in Jupyter Notebooks in vscode.
This problem only seems to affect the docstring but doesn't affect autocomplete. Thanks to others who tried to help with this question and hope it helps those who might come across the same problem.
In my case the problem was in pyproject.toml file with extraPaths option specified. It seems to have precedence over the python.analysis.extraPaths setting in vs code.
The accepted answer won't fix the error when importing own modules.
Use the following setting in your workspace settings .vscode/settings.json:
"python.autoComplete.extraPaths": ["./path-to-your-code"],
Reference: Troubleshooting, Unresolved import warnings
UPDATE 2023
As mentioned by shmim python-language-server is deprecated and new closed source LSP Pylance's setting is configured as follows:
"python.analysis.extraPaths": ["./path-to-your-code"]
In your workspace settings, you can set your Python path like this:
{
"python.defaultInterpreterPath": "/path/to/your/venv/bin/python",
}
