Python unresolved import issue #3840

There are two very useful answers, by MagnuesBrzenk and SpenHouet.

The best solution for now is to create a .env file in your project root folder. Then add a PYTHONPATH to it like this:

PYTHONPATH=YOUR/MODULES/PATH

And in your settings.json add:

"python.envFile": ".env"

In your workspace settings, you can set your Python path like this:

{
    "python.defaultInterpreterPath": "/path/to/your/venv/bin/python",
}

Alternative way: use the command interface!

Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + P → Python: Select Interpreter → choose the one with the packages you look for:

The accepted answer won't fix the error when importing own modules.

Use the following setting in your workspace settings .vscode/settings.json:

"python.autoComplete.extraPaths": ["./path-to-your-code"],
