Poetry Hot — Pylance Missing Imports

Look for an interpreter path that contains .venv , poetry , or your project name. If you see ./.venv/bin/python , select it. If you see ~/Library/Caches/pypoetry/virtualenvs/... , select it.

PYTHONPATH=${workspaceFolder}/src VS Code's Python extension automatically loads .env files. Add a script in your pyproject.toml to remind or automate: pylance missing imports poetry hot

Pylance restarts, scans the new interpreter, and your red squiggles vanish. Part 3: The Permanent Fix (Best Practice) Selecting the interpreter manually works until VS Code forgets. Here is the robust, production-grade solution: Force Poetry to create the .venv inside your project root. 3.1 Configure Poetry for In-Project Virtual Environments By default, Poetry isolates its virtual environments globally. To change this: Look for an interpreter path that contains

Your code is clean. Your types are checked. Your imports are resolved. , select it

If you don’t see the Poetry environment at all, click Enter interpreter path and manually paste the result of this command:

Don't. But if you must: Install Poetry in your Conda base, then use poetry config virtualenvs.create false to force Poetry to use the current Conda environment. Then point Pylance to the Conda environment's Python binary. Part 5: Automating This For Your Team You don’t want every developer on your team to suffer this pain. Commit the solution to Git. 5.1 Commit the Config Files git add .vscode/settings.json git add poetry.toml # this stores the "virtualenvs.in-project = true" config git commit -m "Fix Pylance integration with Poetry" 5.2 Use .env for Environment Variables If your Poetry environment requires environment variables for Pylance to resolve imports (e.g., PYTHONPATH modifications), create a .env file in your project root:

You are experiencing the "hot" pain point of the modern Python stack:
