Why can't I import sympy

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I'm using Visual Studio Code. I did a pip install of sympy and I'm pretty sure it worked because when I type pip install sympy again I get a message saying "requirement already satisfied". However, when I type import sympy, sympy is underlined and when I hover on it it says "sympy is not accessed by Pylance" and "Import sympy could not be resolved by Pylance". I'm pretty new to this so I have no idea what to do next.

What I have tried:

Googled the error messages that came up but I couldn't find anything that helped.

Can you import it if you have a standalone Python invocation, i.e. not in VSCode? In my experience with Python all pip installs go to the correct location in the Python directory, so it is not necessary to modify any system settings.

How do I do a standalone Python invocation?

Open as command window and type python or python3 to start it. But I have no idea what Pylance is.
