Searching for a class in libraries

[ibobak]

Type: Feature Request

Behaviour

In my config file of the project I have this:

"python.autoComplete.extraPaths": [
        "./venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages"
    ],

However, searching for a class in libraries doesn't work.

This is PyCharm:

And this is VS Code. It would be a killer feature if you could make it:

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install a library, e.g. pytorch_lightning
2. Press Ctrl+N (search for symbol) and try to find a class in this library, e.g. #LearningRateMonitor

Output for Python in the Output panel (View→Output, change the drop-down the upper-right of the Output panel to Python)
