intellisense for cv2 is not working

[ukalwa]

cv2 intellisense seemed to have stopped in the latest releases. I don't see cv2 stubs bundled in vscode server pylance extension
/root/.vscode-server/extensions/ms-python.vscode-pylance-2023.9.10/dist/bundled/native-stubs as I only see lxml, pandas and numpy in there. This was also not documented in the CHANGELOG.md of pylance-release so I assume it is a bug.

I tried both opencv-python and opencv-python-headless and the issue was the same. Then I came across this issue comment where it said that typings are bundled by pylance and that's when I knew it was a pylance issue.

I encountered the same issue even in pylance pre-release version (2023.9.12)

Repro Steps

• Install opencv by running pip install opencv-python==4.7.0.72

Environment data

• Language Server version: 2023.9.10
• OS and version: Host OS - Mac M1, Devcontainer - Ubuntu 22.04 on aarch64
• Python version (& distribution if applicable, e.g. Anaconda): 3.10.12

Expected behavior

intellisense should work for cv2

Actual behavior

It used to work but it doesn't anymore

The cv2 stubs were removed intentionally because opencv-python now ships their own stubs. You can get them by upgrading to opencv-python 4.8.0.76.

If you need our old cv2 stubs, you can get them from https://github.com/microsoft/python-type-stubs. microsoft/python-type-stubs@1add739 was the last commit before they were removed.

Apologies for not mentioning this in the changelog.

Ah, ok. That makes sense and thanks for the quick response.
