That is a linting “error” from PyLint. You can ignore them or tell PyLint to stop reporting those. It should not stop your program from running.

This seems to be the standard guide for configuration of PyLint in VSCode: [Linting Python in Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/linting)

You mean this: 😸?

You can use the emoji button in the editor or type the literal: `:smile_cat:`
