Hey guys! Just started learning python. I used before a PyCharm, but want to try same like Mosh doing it in VScode.  
Trying to set up everything following his steps, but i can’t get rid of “Missing module docstring” error in Problems section. I’ve installed this module, but the problem still present.  
Any suggestions?

Oh god, I’ve managed with it.  
For future students. I created a file before I’ve installed PyLint extension. Just recreated a file.

I’m pretty sure that is a linting error complaining that you do not have a docstring for your module (not that you are missing a module called “docstring”). A docstring is a part of python documentation where you wrap a special comment string in triple quotes. Chances are the extension automatically added a docstring for you which is why the error went away when you created a new file. Also, linter “errors” are just warnings so you can ignore them if you want.
