Pylance does not recognise newly installed pip packages

Question

I am getting the following error while trying to import newly installed packages from pip:

Import "<package>" could not be resolved
Pylance(reportMissingImports)

After I restart VS Code, Pylance seems to then be able to recognise the package.

Is there any fix to this as it is very annoying?

Answer 1

This question will happen when Pylance doesn't detect the module immediately. You may Reload Window from Command Palette to refresh the current project.

Answer 2

If you are using VS Code, open the command pallet and run "Python: Restart Language Server"
