Unresolved imports

[nickcorona]

The python extension doesn't manage path correctly.

Example project

project
   src
      config.py
      scoring
         scoring.py

Importing config.py from scoring.py with from src import config.py doesn't work. It will return the following error:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'src'

I know other people at work with the exact same issue. And we've not been able to come up with a solution other than adding the project absolute path the settings.json file (which I feel you shouldn't have to do to run a script).

This is best asked on Stack Overflow, but in this specific case you need to set PYTHONPATH for Python to know your code exists in src. People often solve this using an environment variable definition file.

If you would like us to try to automatically handle this case for you then you can 👍 #924.

I've added an environment variable definition for PYTHONPATH specifying the absolute path to the project directory in .env which is in the root project folder. I reloaded the workspace and the Run Python file in terminal button still can't find src. The issue should be re-opened because it seems like an issue with the extension.

I do not have the same issue if I run lines of code with Shift + Enter or hitting F5.

This is the button I'm talking about:

@nickcorona ah, so you're saying the Run Python button doesn't include what's in the .env file when it runs? Then that's a different issue then what you initially asked about, so please open a new issue and please make sure to fill in the issue template.
