nowadays (june 2020) I get a message of Unknown configuration setting for pep8
has it been renamed flake8 as that does get recognized?

I am trying with various options like this to toggle on/off various linter

{
    "python.linting.pep8Enabled": true,
    "python.linting.pylintEnabled": true,
    "python.linting.flake8Enabled": false,
    "python.linting.enabled": true,
    "python.formatting.provider": "black",
    "python.formatting.blackArgs": [
        "--line-length",
        "120"
    ],    
    "python.linting.flake8Args": [
        "--max-line-length=120",
        "--ignore=E402",
    ],
    "python.linting.pylintArgs": [
        "--max-line-length=180"
    ],
    "python.formatting.autopep8Args": [
        "--max-line-length=180"
    ], 
    "python.pythonPath": "venv/bin/python"
}

flake8 is a different linter entirely. If you're still looking for PEP 8 formatting, you can install autopep8 and change your "python.formatting.provider" setting to "autopep8".

pep8 has been renamed to pycodestyle, so the python.linting.pep8Enabled is not a valid setting anymore. Now it is python.linting.pycodestyleEnabled
