This is no longer working in VSCode 1.37.1 (2019-08-15). If I follow your instructions then run linting I get a message "Linter pep8 is not installed". Installing again doesn't fix it. Clicking "Select Linter" gives you a list of all supported linters but if you select pep8 it then says "Multiple linters are enabled in settings. Replace with 'pep8'?

I think the instructions in here might gelp help. In a nutshell:

  • Open the terminal window
  • Activate the relevant python virtual environment
  • Ensure Pylint is installed within this virtual environment pip install pylint
  • Close all instances of VS Code
  • Launch VS Code from within this terminal window (this will ensure the VS Code process will inherit all of the Virtual Env environment settings)

Let me know if it still doesn't work for you.
