Instant, no config files. Cons: Manual, error-prone, not repeatable across team members. 4. Method 2: Using poetry shell with VS Code This method involves launching VS Code from the active Poetry shell. It works because VS Code inherits the environment variables of the terminal that launched it.
{ "venvPath": "/Users/yourname/Library/Caches/pypoetry/virtualenvs", "venv": "your-project-name-xxxxx-py3.9" } Note: The venv name is the folder inside venvPath . Find it via poetry env info --path and take the last folder name. pylance missing imports poetry link
Non-invasive, works with existing Poetry setup. Cons: Requires maintaining absolute paths (or using ${workspaceFolder} but Poetry’s cache is often outside the project). 7. Method 5: The pyrightconfig.json or pyproject.toml Approach Pylance is built on Pyright. You can configure Pyright’s venvPath and venv directly. Instant, no config files
But when you open your .py file, you see it: yellow squiggles under your import statements. Hovering over them reveals the dreaded message: "Import 'requests' could not be resolved" or "Pylance(reportMissingImports)." Method 2: Using poetry shell with VS Code
No more yellow squiggles. No more guessing. Happy coding.
// .vscode/settings.json { "python.analysis.followSymlinks": true, "python.analysis.extraPaths": [ "./.venv/lib/python3.x/site-packages" ] } Pylance also yells at you for missing local imports (e.g., from myproject.utils import helper ). Add your project root to extraPaths :
