Hi. I have just started the Complete Python Mastery course. I am up to 1.6 which explains how to install the python extension and pylint in VS code. I am following the video and can install the python extension without problem. However, once installed I do not get the automatic message that pylint is not installed. As I am never prompted to install pylint, I have no idea how to install it. It would be great if someone could help!
Try to reinstall python, and then run python in vs code.
I think then you may get a pop up for installing pylint
I am experiencing the same problem. It may be related to the VS Code version?
Need help. Thanks.
Hi,
I also have this problem. Iāve tried to reinstall both python and VS code, both to no avail. The error message doesnāt come up, and when I try to search or pylint manually, nothing comes up.
Since pylint isnāt working, when I type, there is no dropbox to autofill the code command for me and there is also no red underline if/when code is wrong.
I was previously using pycharm which was brilliant, but since switching to VS code, I havenāt even been able to start the actual content, Iām being held back by program issues.
Please help!
I am having same problem⦠I downloaded everything lsat night, so itās all up to date⦠I tried uninstalling and reinstalling⦠I never get the box to popup asking to instal Linterā¦
Are you on Mac or PC?
I think it may have something to do with Python 3.9. Cuz, Im having the problem on Mac, where I have Python installed, and when copy what Mosh does in Unit1 Video#6, I get no red underline under āPrint.ā BUT, I got a chance to try all of this on my Windows computer, and when I type āprint āHello Worldāā and hit save, I get the red underline, BUT, itās under the term āHelloā and not print⦠like in Mosh video. I think Python v3.9 is not only different from Mosh video, but also operates slightly differently whether itās mac vs pc⦠but I cant verify this cuz I am new to all of this⦠but it is my hunch⦠let me know how it all works for you.
Somthing else⦠if you bring up the Command Pallette (right click in a blank area on your file, and it should be at the bottom of the menu)⦠click that, and in the search area, type Python: run linter⦠and variety of ālintā commands should pop up⦠you can ārun pylintā, or turn it on, etc⦠I think that is proof that pylint is there⦠and I think pylint just has been updated to operate differently than Moshās older video⦠not sure tho.

I am on windows and also noticed the red underline was in a different location on my terminal than on Moshās in the video. Itās definitely either a python or VS Code version thing.
I had this same problem, but when I opened app.py the pop-up came back and I could move forward with the steps.
(windows):
Ctrl-Shift-P
type ālinterā and choose āSelect Linterā
choose pylint
Hello.
I donāt have access to Python course, but Iāll try to help.
I manage to replicate the āI canāt find pylinterā query. Here is what I did to find the pylint thing and how you can see the errors as you type.
- Make sure you install the Python extension. Here is the picture of the one I installed
-
Now, type some python code with a very obvious error⦠and save the file (you know⦠with the .py ending)
-
You will see a pop up with the pylint thing you are looking for. This is what I got:
Of course, click on install! -
Finally I managed to see the highlight you are looking for (and probably the one on the videos)
Let me know if this description solves the issue.
I had this problem with Python 3.9 on a Mac and when reinstalled the VS it was fixed. The popup appeared and I was able to install pylint.
