Describe the Bug

I hope to add some additional paths to the automatic parsing paths. I tried “.env”, “python.analysis.extraPaths”, and “python.analysis.extraPaths”, but none of them worked.

Steps to Reproduce

my setting.json

“python.envFile”: “D:/Seafile/MayaLib/dcc_scripts/.env”,
“python.autoComplete.extraPaths”: [
“C:/CgTeamWork_v7/bin/base”,
“D:/Seafile/MayaLib/dcc_scripts/gen_utils”,
“D:/Seafile/MayaLib/dcc_scripts/asset_library”,
“D:/Seafile/MayaLib/dcc_scripts/pyblish_pipe”、
“D:/Seafile/MayaLib/dcc_scripts/maya_script”、
“
D:/Seafile/MayaLib/packages”、
“D:/Seafile/MayaLib/packages_py3”、
“D:/Seafile/MayaLib/packages_2024”、
“D:/Seafile/MayaLib/dcc_scripts/standalone”,
],
“python.analysis.extraPaths”：[
“C：/ CgTeamWork_v7 / bin / base”，
“D：/ Seafile / MayaLib / dcc_scripts / gen_utils”，
“D：/ Seafile / MayaLib / dcc_scripts / asset_library”
，
“D：/ Seafile / MayaLib / dcc_scripts
/ pyblish_pipe”，
“D:/Seafile/MayaLib/packages/maya-stubs”、
“D:/Seafile/MayaLib/packages_py3”、
“D:/Seafile/MayaLib/packages_2024”、
“D:/Seafile/MayaLib/dcc_scripts/standalone”、
]，

my .env
PYTHONPATH =“C:/CgTeamWork_v7/bin/base;D:/Seafile/MayaLib/dcc_scripts/gen_utils;D:/Seafile/MayaLib/dcc_scripts/asset_library; /maya_script;D:/Seafile/MayaLib/packages;D:/Seafile/MayaLib/packages/maya-stubs;D:/Seafile/MayaLib/packages_py3;D:/Seafile/MayaLib/packages_2024;D:/Seafile/MayaLib/dcc_scripts/standalone”

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

Hi @beimingxinglian , could you install the Anysphere Python extension, and then set the paths under the cursorpyright.analysis.extraPaths setting? We do not read the settings python.analysis.extraPaths or python.autoComplete.extraPaths.

OK, it turns out this is the function of the plugin. I was using VSCode before. It seems that the plugin is incompatible, causing this issue.

In VSCode, python extension is provided by ms-python, these two variables are read. I directly used “import vscode”
Anyway, thank you. My problem has been solved.
