physlint — VS Code extension
Real-time physical unit diagnostics and hover info for Python files.
Install
Install from the VS Code Marketplace — search physlint in the Extensions tab, or use the command line:
code --install-extension Darsh-A.physlint
That's it. The extension automatically installs everything it needs on first activation — no manual pip install required. Just open a Python file.
Requirements
Python 3.11+ must be available on your system. The extension creates a private environment and installs physlint into it automatically.
Commands
Open the command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P):
- physlint: Restart Server — restart the LSP server
- physlint: Reinstall Server — wipe the private environment and reinstall from scratch
- physlint: Show Output — view the server log
