Code Snippet

from openseespy.opensees import *
wipe()

Repro Steps

1. XXX

Expected behavior

wipe() is part of the package and the code runs well but I still get the warning that the method is not defined.
strangely, when I use:

import openseespy.opensees as ops
ops.wipe()

the warning goes away.

Actual behavior

There should be no warning

With your initial code...

from openseespy.opensees import *
wipe()

...the diagnostic that I see is "wipe" is not defined.

If I make the change you suggested...

import openseespy.opensees as ops
ops.wipe()

...I still see a diagnostic, which is effectively the same thing -- "wipe" is not a known attribute of module "openseespy.opensees"

There are a few issues that are preventing Pylance from handling openseespy well:

1. openseepy/opensees/__init__.py, which you can get to by "go to def" on opensees, imports the platform-specific module within a sys.platform.startswith check which we do not support. We only support simple equality checks on sys.platform as specified by PEP 484.
2. Even if that worked, the platform-specific packages are implemented in native code (not Python), so Pylance doesn't understand what symbols are exposed by those packages.

You may want to ask the openseespy maintainers if type stubs are available.
