"With this release, Pylance can now include symbols from packages installed in your active virtual environment in Workspace Symbol search (Cmd/Ctrl+T). This is controlled by a new setting: Python › Analysis: Include Venv In Workspace Symbols."
"Because indexing installed packages can affect performance, this feature is opt-in by design. You can fine-tune the depth of indexing per-package using Python › Analysis: Package Index Depths."
"We're shipping an experimental setting that switches Pylance's indexer to a new Rust-based parallel implementation that runs out-of-process, aiming to enhance performance."
The March 2026 release of the Python extension for Visual Studio Code includes significant updates. Users can now search for Python symbols in installed packages within their active virtual environment. This feature enhances code exploration by allowing navigation into third-party libraries directly in VS Code. Additionally, an experimental Rust-based parallel indexer is introduced, which aims to improve performance for completions, auto-imports, and workspace symbol searches. Users can customize indexing settings to optimize their experience.
