opencv-python intellisense is not working under conda

From @sarkarstanmoy on April 3, 2017 18:4

Environment data

VS Code version: latest Python Extension version:
Python Version: 3.5 OS and version: windows 10

Actual behavior

After installing and importing opencv-python package in my project file intellisense is not firing up.

Expected behavior

Steps to reproduce:

• Install opencv-python 3.2.0.6 using pip
• Import package into project (import cv2 as cv)
• Try to fire intellisense using cv.

@anribras @ironbar @denck007 Please could you download the Insiders Build and test this out. Note: This isn’t the insiders build of VS Code, its our dev version of the extension. It contains a number of fixes related to intellisense, and I’m hoping this resolves the issue you are experiencing.

Please test and let me know how it goes.

[anribras]

Meet same issue. cv2 (opencv 3.4) intellisense complied into python3.5 on ubuntu 16.04 did not work at all.
