VSCode/Language/Python/How To/Use Go To Reference with more than one python package and uv

• How to use VSCode/Command/Go To/References in a project with more than one package that's using uv

  • Problem Context

    • PyPoetry has dedicated support for installing packages in editable mode with develop = true in Py/pyproject.toml; see also PyPoetry/Concept/Misconception - Disadvantages of Pip vs Poetry
      • of course, uv doesn't support poetry's non-standard syntax
        • When using uv with a python project that has more than one pyproject.toml in VSCode/Python, one must instrument calling uv pip install -e path/to/package for each package

  • Observed behavior

    • Sometimes VSCode/Extension/Pylance doesn't find or display all references in response to VSCode/Command/Go To/References when the references are in different package contexts
