A better answer to this question here: Why does it say that module pygame has no init member?

The answer above marked as the answer with references to Anaconda doesn't make sense to me, probably a newbie issue.

Please follow the link to get the real scoop, but to summarize -

Replacing extensionname with your problem module name, such as pygame or RPi or Torch:

1. Hit CTRL + Shift + P

2. Click on "Preferences: Open Settings (JSON)"

3. Add the following to the JSON file you are presented with (inside the {}, if there are entries already there add leading comma as well):

   "python.linting.pylintArgs": [ "--extension-pkg-whitelist=extensionname" // comma separated ]

What worked for me was noticing what modules were giving those errors, which is torch for you, and then followed these steps:

1. hit CTRL + Shift + P
2. click on "Preferences: Open Settings (JSON)"
3. add the following to the JSON file you are presented with:

"python.linting.pylintArgs": [
    "--generated-members", "torch.*"
]

for the sake of this answer, say that there were other modules giving problems, then you'd write:

"python.linting.pylintArgs": [
    "--generated-members", "torch.* other_module.* next_module.*"
]

Yes it is a problem of Pylint

If you use Anaconda, you can do:
1. search python.linting.pylintPath in your VSCode setting
2. change it to (You Anaconda Path)\pkgs\pylint-1.8.4-py36_0\Scripts\pylint

You Anaconda Path and pylint-1.8.4-py36_0 may vary
