Autocomplete suggestions for import don't work without entry in __init__.py

Environment data

• Language Server version: 2020.9.4
• OS and version: Windows 10
• Python version (& distribution if applicable, e.g. Anaconda): Python 3.7, Anaconda

Expected behaviour

Autocomplete suggestion for import should be shown during typing even without entry in __init__.py.
This is the behaviour when using Jedi.

Actual behaviour

Without entry in __init__.py, autocomplete suggestion is showed with Ctrl+Space but not while typing.

Any update on this issue ?

Could you provide more information or perhaps a self-contained example of the problem? I can't tell from your description or the animated gifs what you mean by "without entry in init.py".

@erictraut I've attached example code for the problem.

Simply put, the difference between Jedi and Pylance, when trying to import the file child_1.py in parent.py,
is that the name of the file child_1 automatically shows up in suggestion while typing with Jedi but not with Pylance.

Jedi:

Pylance:

Thanks for the example — very helpful. I've diagnosed and fixed the problem. The bug fix will be included in the next release.
