Previously, selecting or changing a Python interpreter with the Python extension would update a setting called “python.pythonPath” with the path to the interpreter as its value. Selecting a Python interpreter no longer modifies workspace settings

You can now hover over the diagnostic on the import statement and either click the lightbulb icon or “Quick Fix…” in the tooltip and Pylance will suggest search paths to add to, where appropriate.

Now, you’re able to skip the step of manually fiddling with your settings.json and trying to figure out the right search paths to add to extraPaths and instead have Pylance guide you via the editor. Previously, configuring project roots would require setting to tell Pylance what search paths to use for import resolution (that is, for finding the paths of packages that are imported to get the information necessary to provide IntelliSense features). We’re excited to announce that we’ve added a new quick fix to to allow you to more quickly configure your Python project roots!Ī common issue we’ve heard developers experience in VS Code is seeing diagnostics (or yellow squiggles) under import statements when they open new projects and then not knowing what to do to resolve them. If you are interested, you can check the full list of improvements in our changelog.

New debugger features: step into targets and function breakpoints.

Selecting a Python interpreter no longer changes settings.

A faster way to configure project roots via a new Pylance quick fix.
