No intellisense for ironpython external modules

[ccc159]

Environment:

• Visual Studio Professional 2019 16.0.0
• Ironpython 2.7.9
• Windows 10 Pro 1809 64-bit

Bug:
No intellisense (autocomplete) for external .dll library or python module

How to reproduce:

1. Create a Ironpython Application project.

2. In Solution Explorer -> Search Paths, add external .dll directory path.

3. Reference .dll using clr
   

4. The code runs with no problem, but there is no intellisense at all. Also import clr shows unresolved import clr
   

5. In Solution Explorer -> Search Paths, add external python module path.

6. The intellisese doesn't show full description of a function as it does in my old setup.
   

FYI, the old setup I was using is:

• Visual Studio Professional 2015
• Ironpython 2.7.5
  Neither of the above problem appears in that setup.

I really appreciate the effort you've been putting into PTVS. Unfortunately to me I can only use the version from 3-4 years ago. I hope there's a workaround or a fix soon, as intellisense is one of the most important feature for an IDE.

Thanks!
