grey in py, runs fine in Jupyter

[Amy Mann]

Novice level, I am running Windows 10 with Python 3.8 and Visual Studio Code 1.62.0. When I start my program with:

import datetime as dt

The command works fine in Jupyter, but is grey in VScode. How do I get python's datetime to be recognized in VScode? Amy

The following is the error I receive.

"dt" is not accessed Pylance  [note Pylance is also grey]

(module) dt

Concrete date/time and related types.

See http://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/tz-link.html for time zone and DST data sources.

I've tried the pip install datetime, but I'm guessing I don't have the correct environment open.  I'm don't know why datetime would not be in the VSCode library of programs.  Amy
