Answer 1

Press Ctrl+,

It will open up vscode settings, there you can search for "Pylint enabled" and tick the checkbox to enable it.

Note: if pylint is not installed, it will ask if it can install it. Allow that.

Answer 2

For using Python's code analysis tool "Pylint" in VS Code, please refer to the following:

1.Please install "pylint" in the python environment currently used by VS Code.(pip install pylint)

(Please note that the python used in the VS Code terminal is the same as the one displayed in the lower left corner of VS Code. check python: "python --version" )

2.Then use the following settings in "settings.json":

"python.linting.enabled": true,
"python.linting.pylintEnabled": true,
