I have installed quantconnect module in Python, but when I debuged in Visual Studio, there is error, "No module named ‘QuantConnect". Should the Lean import quantconnect module?

Hi Li,
Looks like there is problem with your config.json. To run python algorithms in Lean, here is an instruction.
For config.json setting, we need to update "algorithm-type-name" to the name of your algorithm class, "algorithm-language" to Python and "algorithm-location" to "../../../Algorithm.Python/your_algorithm_name.py". Make sure your python algorithm is in that directory.
After that, build lean and run it just in the same way as you run c# algorithm.
Feel free to share your config.json and details of your installation process to get help for further questions!
