VSCode doesn't detect manim library

[random sphinx]

seems to be some pylance error but I don't know how to fix it

Are you able to run the script normally with python? If so, it's possible that Pylance isn't able to locate manim in whatever interpreter it has (this is if you have multiple Python versions).

If you know what version you installed manim to, you can select it in VSCode by opening the Command Palette (Ctrl + Shift + P), typing "Select Interpreter" and choosing the correct option from the panel that comes up. Here's an example of how that would look.

I have python 3.12.5 which all scripts work on

when compiled, it shows this message: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'manim.animation'; 'manim' is not a package

I just installed openai-whisper library and it worked instantly, but I can't get the manim to work

Do you perchance have a file named manim.py?

[random sphinx]

yes

changed the name and it's fixed

but it still doesnt recognize this part

hm maybe its unnecessary or the library changed

thanks anyway 🙂

[gleaming haven]

yeah, that doesn't seem to be a thing according to the docs
it's manim.animation.creation.Write
