I am importing lots of packages into other packages. The imported packages can be executed without any problems, as I used Python installers and the right structure. But the linking in VS code is not working, Pylance is giving me import errors.
I have a workspace called happyspace. The path to the dist-packages is
/home/flo/happyspace/devel/lib/python3/dist-packages
so I added this to my workspace config:
{
"folders": [
{
"path": "."
}
],
"settings": {
"editor.fontSize": 15,
"[python]": {
"editor.defaultFormatter": "ms-python.autopep8"
},
"python.formatting.provider": "none",
"editor.defaultFormatter": null,
"python.autoComplete.extraPaths": [
"/home/flo/happyspace/devel/lib/python3/dist-packages",
"/opt/ros/noetic/lib/python3/dist-packages"
],
"python.analysis.extraPaths": [
"/home/flo/happyspace/devel/lib/python3/dist-packages",
"/opt/ros/noetic/lib/python3/dist-packages"
]
}
}
however, upon imports of one package into another, like for example in my in execute_poses_record.py located in
/home/flo/happyspace/src/fmp_tools/src/fmp_tools/execute_poses_record.py
the line
from fmp_tracepen_node.tracepen_node import TracepenNode
gets the error
Import "fmp_tracepen_node.tracepen_node" could not be resolvedPylancereportMissingImports (module) fmp_tracepen_node
while the file to be imported sits in
/home/flo/happyspace/src/fmp_tracepen_node/src/fmp_tracepen_node/tracepen_node.py
I JUST REALIZED A THING!
Changing the import structure from
from fmp_tools.console_messager import ConsoleMessager
to
from fmp_tools.console_messager.src.console_messager import ConsoleMessager
the import error is gone.
But then I can no longer import the packages in python and get real import errors:
from fmp_tools.src.fmp_tools.console_messager import ConsoleMessager ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'fmp_tools.src'
Also when I add
"/home/flo/happyspace/src/fmp_tools/src" to my pyhton paths it resolves the pylance error.
/home/flo/happyspace/src/fmp_tools/src/fmp_tools/console_messager.py
is also the structure to the python files of my ros packages.
I heard that one should configure packages like this, and then construct a setup.py like this
from distutils.core import setup
from catkin_pkg.python_setup import generate_distutils_setup
d = generate_distutils_setup(
packages=['fmp_tools'],
package_dir={'': 'src'}
)
setup(**d)
Is this wrong?
help is greatly appreciated.
