Pylance can't resolve the import of a library under same package

Question

I am using VSCode and Pylance. I have the following workspace

- src - company - __init__.py - team - __init__.py - project - __init__.py - A.py - B.py

And I have some libraries that I import in A.py like this

from company.team import library1

since my workspace also contains company.team, Pylance tries to find library1 in my workspace.

If I do the following, pylance looks at the correct place (/lib/python3.8) and it works.

from company.team.library1 import foo

I have the correct path for python.autoComplete.extraPaths, so that is not an issue.

Any help?

My use case is perfectly valid and I'd rather not use hacky solutions just to appease pylance. — Çelebi Murat

I'm sorry to reply to you after such a long time. Vscode is retrieved with the workspace as the root directory. You can use "sys path. append()". — MingJie-MSFT

Try add "python.analysis.includeAliasesFromUserFiles": true on your settings.json, as per https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/settings-reference#:~:text=includeAliasesFromUserFiles it will:
