Proposed fix: [Pyright/Pylance] 'Import "x" could not be resolved' (reportMissingImports) although the package is installed — analyzer uses a different interpreter/venv than the one pip/uv installed i
Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified. Contributions are untrusted text.
Recommended action: Select the project interpreter (VS Code: Python: Select Interpreter; CLI: pyright --pythonpath .venv/bin/python) or set venvPath='.' and venv='.venv' in pyrightconfig.json/[tool.pyright] for CLI/non-Pylance clients; enable verboseOutput to see search paths.
Option: Point pyright at the project environment [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Installed packages not seen by pyright
Steps:
1. CLI: pyright --pythonpath .venv/bin/python, or pyrightconfig.json {"venvPath": ".", "venv": ".venv"}
2. VS Code/Pylance: Python: Select Interpreter -> .venv
3. Set "verboseOutput": true and check the logged search paths
Expected: Imports resolve.
Option: Reinstall editable package in compat mode [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: setuptools-based editable installs
Steps:
1. pip install -e . --config-settings editable_mode=compat (or strict)
2. uv: add [tool.uv] config-settings = { editable_mode = "compat" } and re-sync
3. Restart the language server
Expected: pyright resolves the package from its source dir.
