VSCode not auto completing python module import

Question

My VSCode editor suddenly stopped listing suggestion when am running import statements.

ie.

from django.shortcuts import render, redirect, get_object_or_404, get_list_or_404, HttpResponse

normally when I type:

from django.

it should suggest all packages in django or when I type

from django.shortcuts import

it again should suggest render, get_object_or_404 etc.

But this is not more happening. I have to painstakingly type these out myself.

please any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks a lot.

That should change with VSCode 1.71 and issue 53715 which describes a similar problem:

Intellisense completions in VSCode are only shown after typing the first letter of a method.
But I don't always remember this - I often only remember some other parts of a name.

Example: If I type

import os 
os.dir

I would like to get "mkdir" or "makedirs" as a suggestion. This works as expected in VS Community2017 (or other IDEs like pycharm):

In VSCode 1.25.0 (with python extension 2018.06) I only get this:

Only if I enter "os.m" I get suggestions for "mkdir" or "makedirs".

It's nice that after the initial letter I can enter any string so that "os.md" shows the suggestions I want but I don't always remember the first letter of a method.

This is fixed with PR 152292

Add an option to expose the allowMidWordMatch as a setting

editor.suggest.matchOnWordStartOnly

When enabled IntelliSense filtering requires that the first character matches on a word start, e.g c on Console or WebContext but not on description.

When disabled IntelliSense will show more results but still sorts them by match quality.

This is released to VScode Insiders today.

I reinstalled VScode and was quite careful with extension installation. Everything is working fine now guys, thanks.
