Remote jupyter server reporting missing imports

[jnlaia]

This is related to https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-jupyter/issues/13095 that was closed as it was deemed not important. Reopening a new issue again, as per the suggestion of the admin in the closed issue.

For all my career as a machine learning practicioner, I always used jupyter running on remote machines. So that is a very common working scenario. In my current setting, I need to do port forwarding (via kubernetes) to expose the 8080 port of the jupyter server. VSCode sees the remote link at a localhost address (I don't know if that is relevant or not).

VSCode is unable to resolve the imports

Import "lightgbm" could not be resolvedPylancereportMissingImports

even if I have in the local folder of the notebook a pyrightconfig.json that points VSCode at a local virtual environment that has that package installed

Tagging @DonJayamanne as he was the one who closed the previous issue, with the hope that this ticket adds to the incentive to make this happen
