auto compeletion in vs code

[RAUMIK_RANA]

I am new to vtk pyhton.

I installed python 3.9.6 and vtk 9.1.0

there are 2 questions.

1. Proper way to import vtk
2. is there any other requirement for auto completion of vtk classes

Proper way to import vtk

from vtkmodules import MODULENAME

@RAUMIK_RANA

is there any other requirement for auto completion of vtk classes

Completion (.pyi) files will be in 9.2.

@RAUMIK_RANA in VTK 9.1, you can install the .pyi autocompletion stubs by running this script: https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/-/blob/master/Utilities/Maintenance/vtk_generate_pyi.py

They haven’t been tested with VS Code yet. So if you can try the script, I’d be glad to hear your results!

For general information on the Python wrappers, see this documentation.

Note that if you install the current VTK release (9.2.6) with pip, the .pyi files are automatically installed.
