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"]
(Source: https://dev.to/climentea/how-to-solve-pylance-missing-imports-in-vscode-359b)
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'm trying to use torch in a python script but even though it's pip installed, pylance doesn't recognize it

Any advice on how to resolve this? Thanks.
