Visual Studio Code - removing pylint

Question

Simple question - but any steps on how to remove pylint from a Windows 10 machine with Python 3.5.2 installed.

I got an old version of pylint installed that's spellchecking on old Python 2 semantics and it's bugging the heck out of me when the squigglies show up in Visual Studio Code.

Solution 1

Open the workspace settings file (select File > Preferences > Settings, then locate Python configuration) and edit this line like this:

"python.linting.pylintEnabled": false

then save the file.

Solution 2

If you just want to disable pylint then the updated VSCode makes it much more easier.

Just hit CTRL + SHIFT + P > Select linter > Disabled Linter.

Hope this helps future readers.

Solution 3

The question was how to remove python linter, not how to disable it.

In order to remove pylint open Powershell/cmd and type:

pip uninstall pylint

If this doesn't work immediately, press Ctrl+Shift+P, type "Reload Window" and press enter.

Similarly in VSCode for OS X, navigate to Code > Preferences > Settings to configure this value.

for me it was: [Ctrl + Shift + P] > Python: Enable Linting > [Enter] > selection list that shows "on" and "off"
