I would try to launch the code to make sure your python environment sees it.

also recommend not installing things globally and to use a virtual environment.

did we set correct python interpreter?

this one?

[VimHax]

I have set the interpreter properly I believe. And yes the code does run fine when I execute it. (Assuming that's what you meant by asking to check whether the environment sees it)

[VimHax]

FYI, if I disable the Pylance extension on VSC I also get basic autocomplete.

FYI, BPY is a native Python module. When installing the module it added bpy.so and a folder named 3.2 to the site-packages folder located at /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/.

[bschnurr]

if bpy is a native module, it will need stubs ie. a .pyi file

Closing old issue. As bschnurr mentions, this will need stubs from the python blender authors.
