Description of the problem

Pylance claims that mne.datasets.sample.data_path() is an unknown entity:

Steps to reproduce

import mne
mne.datasets.sample.data_path()

Link to data

No response

Expected results

Editor would offer auto-completion and docstrings

Actual results

Editor doesn't know about data_path()

Additional information

This is on main. Problem has existed already before we moved to lazy loading. I tried getting to the bottom of this but I really don't understand what's going on here. No problems at runtime. Applies to all datasets, not only sample.

I'm seeing something similar for mne.io.read_raw_fif(), but not for mne.io.read_raw():

[hoechenberger]

Can only be reproduced if working in a VS Code workspace that doesn't have the mne-python folder open. E.g., do

code --new-window /tmp/mwe.py

As we've just discussed, this works for me... even in a different workspace.

It seems the problem was in fact related to some type stubs floating around somewhere, so most probably not a bug in MNE or VS Code per se!
