Feature Request

Output of python -c "import pydantic.utils; print(pydantic.utils.version_info())":

             pydantic version: 1.7.2
            pydantic compiled: True
                 install path: /home/math/.pyenv/versions/3.7.8/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pydantic
               python version: 3.7.8 (default, Aug 18 2020, 10:52:32)  [GCC 9.3.0]
                     platform: Linux-4.19.104-microsoft-standard-x86_64-with-debian-bullseye-sid
     optional deps. installed: ['typing-extensions']

This is more of a pointer, I think, less of a feature request. At the moment, with VS Code 1.51.1 and pylance 2020.11.1, the type hints just say **data: Any when a pydantic object is created. It would be cool if that could be improved.

• microsoft/vscode-python/issues/6320: This sounds as if it works / worked with the default Python language server
• microsoft/python-language-server/issues/1898: This sounds as it will never happen using pylance

Hi @MartinThoma
You're absolutely right! It's something a lot of us want. There is actually an opened issue to add BaseModel autocompletion among other things on Pycharm (already done) and VSCode.

Nice! Should I close this issue then?

Since this is the first result when googling "vscode pydantic", I'd like to link this here:
Until #2721 is merged, you can add a small snippet to pydantic to get completions. Instructions here.
