Linting support for python using the pylint library.

Pylint extension for Visual Studio Code

A Visual Studio Code extension with support for the pylint linter. The extension ships with pylint=2.16.2.

Note:

• This extension is supported for all actively supported versions of the python language (i.e., python >= 3.7).
• The bundled pylint is only used if there is no installed version of pylint found in the selected python environment.
• Minimum supported version of pylint is 2.12.2.

Usage

Once installed in Visual Studio Code, pylint will be automatically executed when you open a Python file.

If you want to disable pylint, you can disable this extension per workspace in Visual Studio Code.

Settings

Settings	Default	Description
pylint.args	[]	Custom arguments passed to pylint. E.g "pylint.args" = ["--rcfile=<file>"]
pylint.severity	{ "convention": "Information", "error": "Error", "fatal": "Error", "refactor": "Hint", "warning": "Warning", "info": "Information" }	Controls mapping of severity from pylint to VS Code severity when displaying in the problems window. You can override specific pylint error codes { "convention": "Information", "error": "Error", "fatal": "Error", "refactor": "Hint", "warning": "Warning", "W0611": "Error", "undefined-variable": "Warning" }
pylint.path	[]	Setting to provide custom pylint executable. This will slow down linting, since we will have to run pylint executable every time or file save or open. Example 1: ["~/global_env/pylint"] Example 2: ["conda", "run", "-n", "lint_env", "python", "-m", "pylint"]
pylint.interpreter	[]	Path to a python interpreter to use to run the linter server.
pylint.importStrategy	useBundled	Setting to choose where to load pylint from. useBundled picks pylint bundled with the extension. fromEnvironment uses pylint available in the environment.
