I am trying to swap to VS for my Python work, rather than PyCharm, as I use it for everything else.
Going through the VS/Python tutorials ( i.e. in the https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/python/tutorial-working-with-python-in-visual-studio-step-05-installing-packages?view=vs-2022 series)
I can run the program in the screenshot, but Numpy & MatPlotLib come up with the green squiggly line:
As I said, the program runs fine, so I guess that this isn't a problem, but I'm generally paranoid about warnings that I don't understand
I've tried swapping the default environment to Anaconda and creating a new project, uninstalling and reinstalling the two packages and creating a new environment with just the two packages with no change.
What exactly is the problem here?
Cheers for any advice

Hi @Andrew Milburn ,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.
If you try to reopen/reload your project, will it work?
Reopen: File > Close Solution > select this Python project and reopen it.
Reload: right-click this Python project > Unload Project > Right-click it again > Reload Project.
Sometimes, resetting VS, restarting VS or repairing VS may work.
Best Regards,
Tianyu
No difference :-(
I've also tried starting another project, checking that the environment definitely has the right packages installed and then rewriting the code from scratch - Still does the same thing.
Later I'll have a go at uninstalling VS, and reinstalling it, see if that makes a difference (not too keen on this though, since I can't remember the order that we have to do things in order to get it to play nice with Unity - I'm sure I struggled before with VS getting installed after Unity.) Or I could just leave well alone and remember two sets of hotkeys :-s
Cheers
Hi Andrew, I think the issue is caused by VS doesn’t refresh well. You can try to reboot VS, reset VS settings(if possible) and repair VS before reinstalling VS.
That's brilliant, Thanks very much
Resetting worked like a charm (but not PyCharm now Hah!)
You are welcome, feel free to contact us if you meet any other issues about Visual Studio.
Have a great day,

Ok so check the environment is the actual activated environment
I've tried creating a new environment, adding matplotlib & numpy, but I'm still getting the same:
As your running this on your local machine you simply need to install the required libraries
In you code install numpy and matplotlib
To Install python libraries https://docs.python.org/3/installing/index.html
Use the following command above the current code
pip install numpy
pip install matplotlib
in the code before your load the libraries
As far as I can see they are already installed - You can see in the image I attached that the environment should have all the correct stuff. (That's why I included the Environment Window)
I also tried uninstalling / reinstalling the two packages with no joy.
Have I missed a step out?
Thanks
