[matplotlib] Axes object missing in pyplot completion and some Axes functions too

[alkatar21]

In Pylance v2022.8.40 the completion works as good as the type stubs are. Since Pylance v2022.8.50 is probably microsoft/python-type-stubs#223 used.

# pyright: strict
from __future__ import annotations
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt, axes

def test(ax: plt.Axes) -> None: # axes.Axes
    ax.get_yticks()
    ax.set_xticks()

This worked until now, but now pyright is complaining: Even if I use axes.Axes, the functions are still unknown.

One thing I noticed, but don't know if it's relevant, is that F12 used to lead to the .pyi files and now seems to lead to the .py files.

(Figure.savefig() does not accept a Path object as fname, but thats not really this issue.)

Can you try pylance pre-release?

I think I has a newer version of the matplot stubs

@bschnurr, this still repros in 2022.9.11. Strangely go to definition on plt.Axes takes me to the Axes class. Given that, I'm not sure what the "Axes" is not a known member of module error is all about.

I have tried that. It is the same in all versions I think.

Yes, I have noticed this more often lately in various other places, but haven't found the time to get to the bottom of it yet. If you use matplotlib.axes.Axes the autocompletion for the functions also works, although it is not found afterwards. It feels like there are 2 different parts.

lowercase axes is also suspect. from matplotlib import pyplot as plt, axes

i'll take a look
