Pylint extension for Visual Studio Code

A Visual Studio Code extension with support for the pylint linter. The extension ships with pylint=2.13.9.

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	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.trace	`error`	Sets the tracing level for the extension.
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"]`

Command	Description
Pylint: Restart Linter	Force re-start the linter server.
