First you need to Open the Command Palette on VSCode(Ctrl+Shift+P) and choose the Python: Select Linter command. This command will add"python.linting.<linter>Enabled": true
to your settings, where <linter>
is the name of the chosen linter .
Here you can see a table of the Python linters available in Visual Studio Code plus some fundamental settings:
What is Lintining ?
Lintening in Python, and other programming language, is a static tool to automatic find and help to highlight problems, and bugs in your source code. (It is a very usueful tool for every professional developer !)
By default, stylistic and syntactical code detection is enabled by the Language Server. If you require third-party linters for additional problem detection, however, you can enable them by using the Python: Select Linter command and selecting the appropriate linter. You can easily enable and disable all linting by using the Python: Enable Linting command.
