Discussion on: Setting Up PEP8 and Pylint on VS Code

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.
