Having troubles running RPI Pico in vscode with pico-go and micropy-cli
1 project | /r/AskProgramming | 13 Feb 2022

I already tried pico-go which worked fine, but I found out that I cannot import my own libraries (i get an error that the library doesn't exist) even though the documentation here in section Pylance shows that it indeed should work. I wanted to report the issue, but on the github, a post from the author says that support for pico-go is basically halted, although the author is searching for someone to either take over the project or at least maintain it.
