by diehard. VSCode is a lightweight, open source, cross-platform code editor. It has strong built-in support for many different tools in various programming languages.
Pylint is a static code analysis tool for the Python programming language. It is named following a common convention in Python of a "py" prefix, and a nod to the C programming lint program. It follows the style recommended by PEP 8, the Python style guide.
First, to check the version of Pylint you're running, run the following command: pylint --version.
Check the path Pylint has been installed to, by typing which pylint on your terminal.
You will get something like: /usr/local/bin/pylint
Copy it.
Go to your Visual Studio Code settings in the preferences tab and find the line that goes
"python.linting.pylintPath": "pylint"
Edit the line to be
"python.linting.pylintPath": "/usr/local/bin/pylint",
replacing the value "pylint" with the path you got from typing which pylint.
Save your changes and reload Visual Studio Code.

ctrl+~)pip install pylint If that doesn't work: On the off chance you've configured a non-default Python path for your editor, you'll need to match that Python's install location with the pip executable you're calling from the terminal.
This is an issue because the Python extension's settings enable Pylint by default. If you'd rather turn off linting, you can instead change this setting from true to false in your user or workspace settings:
"python.linting.pylintEnabled": false If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
