vscode python module intellisense doesn't work

Question

I'm developing a Python package with the following structure:

module_name
  |- __init__.py
  |- app.py
  |- filesystem
     - __init__.py
     - extend_filesystem.py

The extend_filesystem.py contains the following function with the displayed signature:

function signature

When I try to import the module inside app.py VScode doesn't show any useful information (like parameters hints or function's description)

I installed the Pylance extension, I set it as server Language and set the Python's interpreter (Python 3.7.1 32-bit in my case) for the entire workspace

I'm using Vscode Version 1.54.2

Edit: within the same directory, the intellisense system shows all the information. So, how can I extend this behaviour in the entire package folder?

I think there is an issue open in vs code. please reference github.com/microsoft/vscode-python/issues/5132 and github.com/microsoft/vscode-python/issues/4630 — raghu

According to the information you provided, I tested it in VS Code, and you could refer to the following:

When I use Jedi (default) as the language service of python:

In order to ensure that the code can run, we need to use:

from filesystem.extend_filesystem import extend_file
When I use Pylance as a language service for python:

In order to ensure that the code can run, we need to use:
```
import sys 
sys.path.append("./")

from emo.filesystem.extend_filesystem import extend_file
```

In addition, it is recommended that you distinguish between the file name and the function name to avoid confusion during import.
