Expected behaviour

When I go to a definition of render_template I get jumped to the definition of render_template

Actual behaviour

Error message No definition found for render_template.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Use flask repo
2. Go to blog.py
3. Line 25, go to definition of render_template

[MikhailArkhipov]

1. Cloned flask
2. Set python.autocomplete.extraPaths to include path to flask\src like ${workspaceFolder}/src.
3. Opened flask folder.
4. Opened blog.py from examples\tutorial\flaskr.

Goto def works, opens templating.py.

Perhaps missing step (2) caused imports to end up unresolved?

[amittleider]

Maybe I forgot to select the correct python interpreter. I can actually jump to the definition now, even without step 2.
