Python language server no longer recommends auto imports from local files (still works for site-packages in venv)

Type: Bug

Unsure, it worked 3 days ago, not it doesn't, didn't change any workspace settings what so ever.

Could you please try turning off indexing in the settings file and see if that gives you the behavior that you want?

"python.analysis.indexing": false

[SimonSchick]

This does not appear to solve the issue.

I had the same issue as you, and have found a workaround. It seems to be related to pyright looking for its configuration in ./pyproject.toml if it exists. Can you check the output logs of "Python Language Server"? For me it looks something like this if pyright finds the pyproject.toml file, but not the tool.pyright section:

...
[Info  - 8:14:29 AM] (9676) No configuration file found.
[Info  - 8:14:29 AM] (9676) pyproject.toml file found at {{workspace path}}.
[Info  - 8:14:29 AM] (9676) Setting pythonPath for service "python": "{{venv path}}"
[Info  - 8:14:29 AM] (9676) Loading pyproject.toml file at {{workspace path}}/pyproject.toml
[Error - 8:14:29 AM] (9676) Pyproject file "{{workspace path}}/pyproject.toml" is missing "[tool.pyright]" section.

Workaround 1

Add an empty section to the pyproject.toml in the workspace:
pyproject.toml

# adding the empty section below fixes the issue

[tool.pyright]

Workaround 2

Delete pyproject.toml

I am having the same issue.

Imports suddenly stopped working without changing any settings.

Curiously enough, if I open the module with a function I want to import in a new VSCode tab, then Pylance finds it and auto import works as it should in the original file. Obviously this is not convenient at all specially with big projects. Can't have all the modules opened all the time.

None of the suggestions in this thread fixed the issue.

Adding [tool.pyright] seems to indeed have fixed the issue combined with "python.analysis.indexing": true

FYI, the pyproject.toml issue is #3348, which is fixed in our latest prerelease build (2022.9.31).

I still have this issue running on 2022.9.31

Maybe it's a different from op. See my description above.

@alejoar, does setting "python.analysis.indexing": true fix this for you?

@debonte no it doesn't. Only works after I have open the file that contains what I intend to import.
