[Python] VSCode Intellisense does not suggest base class methods after installing...

I'm distributing a Python library compiled with Nuitka and generating .pyi stub files using:

stubgen --parse-only --include-docstrings <my_project> -o .


After compiling the project with Nuitka and installing the resulting .whl package, VSCode (or PyCharm) no longer provides autocompletion for base class methods when working with subclasses.

For example:

# parent.py
class Parent:
def run(self) -> None:
print("Running Parent")

# child.py
from parent import Parent

class Child(Parent):
def configure(self) -> None:
print("Configuring")



After installing my compiled library in a new project:

from my_project import Child

child= Child()
Child.run() # No autocompletion shown for 'run'

• 
  run() is inherited from Parent, but the IDE doesn’t recognize it in Child.
  
  
• 
  The .pyi stub for Childonly contains methods defined directly in that class.
  
  
• 
  Parent is declared correctly and present, and both are included in the .pyi tree.
  

How can I generate or structure my .pyi files so that IDEs like VSCode or PyCharm can resolve base class methods (like run() above) in subclasses (Child) after Nuitka compilation?

Is there a way to get stubgen to include inherited methods? Or should I modify the .pyi files manually or through a post-processing script?
