Pylance not working with pixi editable packages

[clement-chaneching]

Environment data

• Pylance version: 2024.7.1
• OS and version: WSL2 linux
• Python version (& distribution if applicable, e.g. Anaconda): 3.10.14

Code Snippet

A reproducible example and description is done here: https://github.com/clement-chaneching/pixi-pylance-test

It s a minimal example with 2 packages, 1 depending on the other on pixi as editable.

Repro Steps

1. Create 2 packages as above with pixi and hatch/setuptools build, with one depending on the other as editable
2. Navigating from package 1 to package 2 with pylance doesnt work.

Expected behavior

Having pylance to work with pixi editable paths.

Actual behavior

• Currently it works fine without "editable".
• Going into pixi shell and manually running pip install -e . --config-settings editable_mode=compat also doesnt help.
• This also has also been raised in pixi repo
• I tried using both hatch and setuptools and doesnt make any difference.

Logs

Happy to get any help or redirection on this topic.

Edit : @baszalmstra, Thanks for your PR on adding pixi on vscode python. Is this something you could have a look on?

This is working for me. Do you have the Pixi environment selected within VS Code?

Btw, when I first tried this I couldn't get Pixi support to work within vscode-python. The Pixi environment was not shown in the environment selector list. I think this is because I was in an experiment that changed my VS Code to use https://github.com/microsoft/python-environment-tools (which doesn't have Pixi support) rather than the environment locators in vscode-python. If you're not seeing the Pixi environment in the list of options, try setting the following VS Code setting and see if that helps:

    "python.locator": "js"

Hello,

Indeed, it looks like it works for me now as well! Not sure what was happening last friday...
