Pylance requires you to set the Python PATH:

If you're in Mac/Linux, use:

which python3

And in Windows (Command Prompt cmd.exe):

where 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:

"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".

The following documentation provides more information about how to configure Python for Visual Studio Code: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/settings-reference

r/vscode on Reddit: Import "module" could not be resolved Pylance
February 2, 2023 -

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?

March 11, 2023 - I have a local module that I am importing in another module, and I use "pip install -e ." to keep changing and working on both modules. Doing this, in the VSCode editor, my imports are reported as missing, flagging them in yellow. The code runs totally fine and python can find them.
