[Inconsistent Behavior] Editor does not auto-suggest to add missing import

[nfx]

Issue Type: Bug

When i type requests.get('https://httpbin.org/headers'), i expect a red line and action-hint to suggest me importing requests module to top of the file. This is default behavior for VSCode for GoLang and Python extension for IntelliJ. It must be consistent across all VSCode extensions as a product-wide feature.

VS Code version: Code 1.53.2 (622cb03f7e070a9670c94bae1a45d78d7181fbd4, 2021-02-11T11:45:54.515Z)

@nfx Which language server are you using?

[nfx]

@karrtikr in this case - Python. I’m switching between Scala, Python and GoLang few times a day. Some things just have to be written in a respective language.

For GoLang I only use VSCode, because it’s the only usable free option out there, but for Python development experience on IntelliJ CE is by far more convenient than with VScode. At least now :)

I’m used to “smart hints” like “introduce a variable/method/class” and I’d really like to see them in VSCode :)

@nfx Can you check what you have for the python.languageServer setting? This so I can move this bug to the appropriate repo.

Filed pappasam/jedi-language-server#126 on JediLS and pylance supports auto imports. Please switch to pylance if you need this feature.
