v2024.5.1: Resolving the import of non-"third party" modules
Type: Bug
Pylance v2024.5.1 appears to have a bug related to resolving the import of classes/modules which are not "third-party". In v2024.4.1 this issue doesn't occur: the same modules whose import could not be resolved using the newer version v2024.5.1 of Pylance, do not present a problem using the older version v2024.4.1.

might be dupe of https://github.com/microsoft/pylance-release/issues/5836
but that said, it would be nice to have more detail repro steps
@SDiWK, can you please provide repro steps with code, required packages (inc. versions), etc?
@SDiWK, can you please provide repro steps with code, required packages (inc. versions), etc?
@debonte, @heejaechang: shared repro code via repository SDiWK/5861
(very simple setting: using v2024.5.1 import of class A can't be resolved)
Hope this helps. Thanks and kind regards :-)
@heejaechang Can't say why you ran into trouble accessing it. Sorry for the inconvenience. I just made the repository public. There doesn't seem to be a point in restricting access anyway, in this case.
we are talking about this right? https://github.com/SDiWK/5861/tree/main
it has only 2 files in it
A.py
class A:
def __init__():
pass
B.py
from A import A
class B(A):
def __init__():
pass
there is only 1 import statement from A import A. so I assume you are referring that import statement?
for me, it works fine.
can you provide us some logs as described in the troubleshooting guide?
I need to see your settings and env to find out why it didn't work for you.
I think, before submitting the logs I should further elaborate a bit:
In my use case I've had the impression that my class (here B) which incorporates a class A, say, doesn't have access to the methods/members of A, even though it should, at least I expected so, as A is imported. To be more precise about what "have access" means: What's puzzling me -- B does run, however, during coding, VS Code doesn't provide the members of A for "autocomplete".
I think I need to refine my reproduction setting, in order to pinpoint what I meant, and then recur with more detailed information as outlined by you. Many thanks for your time so far.
if from A import A didn't work properly (such as pylance couldn't resolve either A), then A in import A will be unknown symbol. so pylance won't be able to provide anything off it such as autocomplete after A.
