I’m trying to use VS Code to start a small data science project, I’m currently having issues while importing keras by running the following lines:

LSTM and GRU project

Dependencies

import pandas as pd
import matplotlib as mpl
from sklearn.preprocessing import MinMaxScaler
from keras.models import Sequential
from keras.layers import LSTM, Dropout, Dense

Traceback goes as follow:

I decided to run in the terminal commands like pip install keras --upgrade --user to check if any of the dependencies above are indeed not installed, the output is quite disappointing since it states that every single dependency used in this project has its requirements already satisfied, see:

My Python Interpreter is Python 3.9.6 64-bit, and I am sure all of the dependencies above were installed in its corresponding path, I tried to uninstall and reinstall keras and optree including running pip cache purge as well as rebooting the kernel, but it still throws the same error.

I also noticed that keras.models and keras.layers are underlined, and when I “hover over them” it displays

Import “keras.models” could not be resolved Pylance(reportMissingImports)

So, I’m stuck, I would like to realize what to do to handle this?
