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".

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"]

Hello,
So I installed libaries useally in CMD after installing in the "import pygame" will be report missing imports in VS Code

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
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?
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.
