VS Code unresolved import for local file

Question

I have a bunch of small Python projects, each of which is just a few files, so I put them all in one git repo. I always open VS Code to the root of this repo so I don't have to keep duplicating settings and launch config, etc. It looks like this:

.
├── .git
├── .vscode
│   ├── launch.json
│   ├── settings.json
├── project1
│   ├── project1.py
│   ├── _version.py
├── project2
│   ├── project2.py
│   ├── project2.spec

The problem is, Python always warns me about unresolved imports for local files. I thought setting "python.autoComplete.extraPaths": ["${relativeFileDirname}"] would work but it doesn't. Is there an easier way so I don't have to add every single subfolder like this?

{
  "python.autoComplete.extraPaths": [
    "./project1",
    "./project2"
  ]
}

It is recommended that you use the "Jedi" language service in VS Code: (in settings.json )

 "python.languageServer": "Jedi",

and please use code:(in project1.py)

import _version
