Visual Studio Code – Vs Code will not autocomplete from a python file or library after appending the path

Suppose I have two python files, funcs.py and current.py and that both of these files are inside the same directory. If I add from funcs import * inside current.py then VS Code will recognize all of the functions that I have in funcs.py and will also code complete for them.

For example, if within funcs.py, I have the following:

def some_function():
    # body of the function

then when I am working on current.py, VS Code will autocomplete some_function for me in the sense where if I start typing some_f... then some_function will be included in the list of suggestions that VS Code gives me.

Now suppose that current.py is inside directory_1 and that funcs.py is inside directory_2 and that inside current.py I add the following lines:

from sys import path
path.append(path_to_directory2)

Then if I am working within current.py, I can successfully import funcs.py and use the functions, but VS Code will now not autocomplete any of the functions imported from funcs.py like it did when both current.py and funcs.py were in the same directory.

Is there a way to have VS Code auto complete these functions if the two files are in different directories?
