Is there a Python auto import extension/plugin available for Visual Studio Code?
By auto import I mean, auto import of python modules. Eclipse and Intellij has this feature with Java.

No, but it will soon be a part of vscode-python: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-python/pull/636
EDIT: See answer by #Eric, who built such an extension.
EDIT 2: See answer by #Eyal Levin, mentioning such an extension (Pylance).
I have built an automatic import extension that supports Python. It lets you fully customize how the imports get written to the file, modifying import paths, names, sorting relative to other imports. The Python plugin even lets you "group" imports together with extra line breaks.
From https://github.com/microsoft/python-language-server/issues/19#issuecomment-587303061:
For those who wonder how to trigger auto-importing as I did, here are
the steps.
Enable Microsoft Python Language Server by removing the check of
Python: Jedi Enabled in your settings.
Reload the VSCode window.
Hover your mouse over the variable that you want to import, and click Quick
fix...
For the last step, if it shows No quick fixes available or
Checking for quick fixes, you may need to wait for a while until the
extension has finished code analysis. It is also possible to set a
shortcut that triggers a quick fix.
I use this package it works very well

You can find it in VSCode extension store. it's name is IMPORTMAGIC. It works fantastic. It will include all modules which you use in your script.
It has code action ctrl + . , which will also import library.
This is supported in the official Microsoft python extension, but for some reason I found it was recently disabled or no longer default. The setting I had to toggle was
"python.analysis.autoImportCompletions": true,
(Updated answer as of January 2023)
These three together did it for me:
"python.analysis.autoImportCompletions": true,
"python.analysis.autoImportUserSymbols": true,
"python.analysis.indexing": true,
If that is slowing down your computer too much because it's indexing too many files, then look into specifying patterns and depths of directories to include in the indexing using "python.analysis.packageIndexDepths".
Note that I am using Pylance (currently the default, as of January 2023).
Check out the VSCode python settings reference for more info on each of those settings.
You might find This Python-Based Module useful if you wish to auto import and auto download missing modules from a script or sub-scripts. Not only for VSCode, but also for any IDE or Editor.

I have a problem with Intellisense. Even though Python, Pylance and even Visual Studio IntelliCode extensions are installed, VS code is still unable to suggest object attributes.
Could you please advise any settings.json parameters which will trigger python attribute suggestion globally ?
Sometime it's tedious to remember all object attributes without documentation being opened.
You can use ctrl + space for windows for activating intelliSense in VsCode.
However it also depends on processing speed of computer.
Intellisense was provided by the Language Server. The search paths depend on the python interpreter you have selected.
If you modify the PYTHONPATH manually to import the package, you need to add these locations to the Language Server too(settings.json), like this:
"python.autoComplete.extraPaths": [
"C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/google_appengine",
"C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/google_appengine/lib/flask-0.12"]
You can refer to here.
Or, there are some problems of your Language Server, you can have a look at the
OUTPUT panel --> Python Language Server channel. And attach the error message on the question.
Open the Command Palette (Command+Shift+P on macOS and Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows/Linux) and type:
Python: Select Interpreter
then choose Interpreter.
I have done some research, but none of the solutions work for me and it seems that my situation is much worse than everybody else. Currently, my VSCode editor is just acting like a plain text editor for any ipynb files. For example, this is how my import block looks like:
Nothing has been highlighted, and I'm working with this for quite a long time and now I can't bear with this anymore. If this is not bad enough, then take a look at the following:
Literally, nothing happens. I think now the only help I get from VSCode is plain text auto-completion, but that is far from what anyone should have.
The configuration is pretty simple. I have the following kernels I can choose from:
And I'm mainly using anaconda3 for my kernel. Further, I only have
in my setting.json for python configuration.
As for extension, I have the standard python extension with python extension pack installed, which are the only two extensions I installed for python.
I'm really tired of working with plain text python code, if any information is needed, I can provide as much as I can.
-- Edit
It seems that the default language is not python, but CVE. Futhermore, I can't find the proper language to choose. All the language options are listed below.
The error happened because of the extension Dependency Analytics. Please uninstall it and reload window.
Reference: jupyter conflict with Dependency Analytics.
Click here and select Python.
CVE seems to be the default language for notebooks for some reason. Please check the settings.
Pycharm provides:
Move functions/classes/variables from one file to another via
refactor > Move (f6-keyboard shortcut)
Import missing imports in the current file
Is the same available in vscode? I tried searching and came across a pull request for auto import here. Couldn't find anything on move refactoring though.
Is it currently possible to do so in vscode via any extensions etc?
The first is not available in the Python extension for VS Code and the latter is a feature request. If you would like to see auto imports implemented, please go to that issue and upvote it.
Auto-Import for (new) missing imports is now available with PyLance.
The Python parser in Visual Studio Code 1.25.1 lints any error directly while typing.
How can I turn that off?
I would like to disable the live-parser-linting.
I do not want to completely disable linting from pep8 or pylint too.
Maybe the issue got adressed here too:
https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-python/issues/2270
I found a setting for "List of surpressed diagnostic message" but I do not know, what to insert here (or if this is even the right place) nor do I find any documentation for the python.analysis.disabled settings on the web.
Help appreciated.
"python.analysis.disabled": [
"",
],
Is there any workaround?
[I am assuming you have the latest version of the Python extension for VS code installed as this won't have anything directly to do with VS Code 1.25.1]
If you are using the new language server from the Python extension then errors as you type do not turn off at the moment (you referenced the specific issue suggesting having a setting to turn that off).
If you're not using the new language server than the extension only runs linters on save, which would mean you have automatic saving as you type turned on and that's triggering the constant linting of your code. Tweak your settings to not automatically save and that will stop constant linting (and you can specify settings in VS Code for specific languages if you only want to change this for Python).
I am trying to learn Enaml, which is an extension to the Python language that allows you to define hierarchical trees of objects used for graphical user interfaces.
Since enaml is a super-set of the Python language, its syntax can be different from Python's one and IDEs do not highlight it.
Is there any way to get enaml-syntax highlighting in PyCharm? Or maybe in some other IDE?
(I know that the package 'enaml-pygments' exists, but I have no idea how to make it work for automatic enaml-syntax highlighting in an IDE.)
I've added most of the keywords to this repo which you can import into PyCharm:
There are highlighters for a few editors in the Enaml repo. Maybe one of them can be used by PyCharm: https://github.com/nucleic/enaml/tree/master/tools
Today I found this settings menu that partially addresses the issue of adding any syntax to PyCharm:
https://blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2010/09/custom-file-types-in-intellij-idea/
Unfortunately it captures only the most simple features of a syntax.
I'm using Atom to work with Python/Enaml code. With the language-enaml package you get syntax highlighting plus some autoextension and docstring feature for Enaml (https://atom.io/packages/language-enaml). Add in git integration and packages like build-python to run you code from the editor and you have quite a nice IDE.
