visual studio code - Why can't I peek the definition of some modules of Python in VSCode?

Question

Short question :

Why??

I did install pywin32.And I can peek definition of other packages just fine. And my program works just fine. I just can't work out why I can't peek the definition of it?

And moreover, how does python found some package was actually installed ? By looking for the subfolder inside site-packages ?

Might be helpful to check if you are running the right version of python with vscode.

In short- you might have different versions of python installed on your pc, installed by you or some other work environments(vscode might have installed one for you). You can see the current running version on the bottom left the bottom left of your vscode window(given that you are running the ms-python.python extesnion).

If it is not the appropriate version, you can easily change it by pressing on the text of the version, see below picture:
