The right format for adding multiple pylint plugins to vscode pylint args

Question

In the python linting docs for VS Code, it has this example for adding plugins to pylint:

"python.linting.pylintArgs": ["--load-plugins", "pylint_django"]

I was just wondering what the proper syntax was if I want to add more than one plugin. Should it be:

"python.linting.pylintArgs": ["--load-plugins", "pylint_django", "pylint_flask"]

or should it be:

"python.linting.pylintArgs": ["--load-plugins", "pylint_django pylint_flask"]

Answer 1

You want:

"python.linting.pylintArgs": ["--load-plugins", "pylint_django,pylint_flask"

--load-plugins takes a comma-separated list of extensions to run.
