Possible to get auto import completions without adding import statements?

[user-grinch]

I have python embedded into my program and added a few functions using the Python C API. I'd like to get PyLance IntelliSense providing autocompletion for it.

After setting up paths to a dummy python file (with dummy functions), PyLance seems to suggest auto completions for my functions but also adds the top-level from x import y statements. I've tried to set the python.analysis.autoImportCompletions to false but it disables the autocompletion entirely.

So, how to get the autocompletion without PyLance adding the import statements at the top? (I know it's not practical but I think it suits my use case here)

Pylance is built on Microsoft's open-source static type analyzer called pyright. Pyright has a way to extend the list of built-in symbols (those that are available without explicitly importing them). Here's a link to the documentation for this feature.
