Go to definition for Python project does not work with relative imports

Environment data

VS Code version: Version 1.18.1 (1.18.1) Python Extension version: 0.8.0 Python Version: 3.6 OS and version: Mac High Sierra

Actual behavior

Assuming my current project structure:

-stopwatch_app
--test.py
--utils
---greeter.py

And contents of:

# test.py

from utils.greeter import print_greeting

def main():
    print_greeting()

# utils/greeter.py

def print_greeting():
   print('Hello')

In test.py, when I select go to definition for the print_greeting method in main (Figure 1), it automatically places the cursor right before the import definition (Figure 2).

Figure 1

Figure 2

Expected behavior

It should instead take me to the print_greeting() definition in the utils/greeter.py file.

Steps to reproduce:

• Download the source stopwatch_app.zip
• Open the source project in VSCode
• Go to test.py, right click on print_greeting() defined in main and select Go To Definition

Should be fixed in the next release.
