[PYTHON] Numpy's intellisense (input completion) is incomplete in VS Code and I was lightly addicted to the solution

problem

I created an environment for deep learning using a Docker container on a Mac, Input completion of NumPy (hereinafter, IntelliSense) is incomplete, which is a little inconvenient.

~ Before resolution ~ ~ After resolution ~

environment

• VSCode 1.42.1
• MacOS Catalina 10.15.3
• ms-python.python has been introduced as an extension of VS Code (If you put this in, python's IntelliSense works fine)
• Python3.6.9 64bit
• Numpy 1.18.1
  Other environments are not related to the theme of this article, so they are omitted.

Conclusion

Just add the settings to setting.json in the directory .vscode.

procedure

Find out where packages such as NumPy are located

import numpy as np

print(np.__file__)
#Output result
# /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/numpy/__init__.py

Since it was the above directory in my environment, check this path and move on to the next step.

Add settings to setting.json

setting.json

{
    "python.autoComplete.extraPaths": [
        "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages"
    ],
}

This time I'm focusing on NumPy, but the same can be said for other libraries. If you look closely, it is explained properly in the VS Code formula.

Enable IntelliSense in custom package locations (https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/editing#_enable-intellisense-for-custom-package-locations)

in conclusion

If you know it, there's nothing wrong with it, but if you rely on extensions and don't mess with setting.json directly, it's worth taking this opportunity to remember a little.
