Pylint is not working despite installation in a virtual environment


I'm a newbie in Django, and I've been trying to set up Pylint in my virtual environment on Visual Studio Code. During the installation I made sure that I was in my virtual environment as well as had the virtual environment Python interpreter selected.

Method used to install:

/home/nived/Documents/BTRE_PROJECTF/venv/bin/python -m pip install -U pylint

This is the log if it does matter:

settings.json in the .vscode file contains the following code:

{
"python.pythonPath": "venv/bin/python"
}

Despite all this, the linter does not work, and I'm not notified of any errors.


Solution

  • I've found what went wrong. I had to install Pylint for Django:

    pip install pylint-django
