VSCode Import Folding

[TylerYep]

Currently, there is no way to collapse a large page of Python imports because VSCode's default folding is indentation-based.

However, there should be a way to create a custom folding rule so that Python imports at the top of the page can be collapsed.

Ideally, there would also be a setting to automatically collapse imports whenever a python file is opened.

Thanks!

Karthik Nadig (@karthiknadig) this is standard behavior for IntelliJ and for VSCode-GoLang.

Jim Griesmer (@greazer), Joyce Er (@joyceerhl), Rich Chiodo (@rchiodo) I think this is a good issue to put on editor roadmap.

Region is quite nice and easy to extend (configuration based)
So you can do:

#region imports <- This is foldable
from functools import lru_cache
#endregion

I wasn't able to get this to work with Python (works fine for me with JS with the provided config example, though). What's your config for it for Python?
