@prithvikin Try the insiders build. It has a fix for this.

[ahaq0]

Have the same issue and on the insiders build it still appears.

[prithvikin]

@ahaq0 That's funny, I switched to insiders build and then back to the default and it seemed to fix it. I uninstalled the insiders build too, but I am not sure what caused/fixed the issue. Sorry if this doesn't help!

[ahaq0]

Does that mean you did a clean install of windows? From what I can find that is the only way to go back.

@ahaq0 To be frank, I'm not sure. I'm no where close to being qualified to comment on doing a clean install, but I didn't have to. I know it was really frustrating when I was trying to fix the issue. Maybe try PyCharm instead of VSCode? The clean install should the a last resort.

[karthiknadig]

@ahaq0 Can you confirm you are using the latest version of the extension? Also, can you confirm that you are having an issue installing python packages?
You should not have to re-install Windows. At most you can run the command to install the any particular library you need. I also verified that this issue is resolved in the latest version of the extension.

[ahaq0]

Hi, yep the version is 2020.8 108011. Also, correct, I ended up installing pylint manually to alleviate the issue temporarily. I can try reinstalling VS Code and removing sync to reproduce the issue if you like.

[karthiknadig]

@ahaq0 Thank you, for helping address this. If you are able to reproduce it, please capture the command line and the error that you get. You should be able to see the command that was run and the error, in either the terminal or output > Python. Also share any particular environment details like path where the extension is installed, target location where the library was supposed to be installed, etc.

[ahaq0]

Is there any information I failed to include?

[karthiknadig]

@ahaq0 I don't see any spaces in the username. For the logs, I will need the command line that was used by the extension to try and install pylint. The logs above show extension trying to find if pylint is installed, if it can't find it and you are using jedi as language server, you will see a prompt. If the installation via the prompt is failing then there should be logs at show what failed. Please share the entire output > Python content.

My problem was that I was using git bash (windows) as the terminal and vscode doesn't translate the backslashes.

[ahaq0]

Yep, I’m using git bash as well. What was your solution? From: Alberto G.

@ahaq0 I just executed the command manually with slashes in git bash (or with backslashes in the cmd), but you can just set cmd by default momentarily for this too.

My problem was that I was using git bash (windows) as the terminal and VSCode doesn't translate the backslashes.

That's the root of the problem. After changing the default shell to CMD, everything works fine.

Yeah this has worked for me too! Quick and easy!!! :)

[curious-33]

I've had the similar problem. After changing git bash to windows default cmd, it worked fine

Our built-in support to Python tools has been deprecated in favour of linting and formatting extensions, hence closing this. These extensions already come with a version of the linter or formatter built-in (so you don't need to install them in your environment if you don't want to):

• Pylint
• Flake8
• Mypy Type Checker
• Black Formatter
• autopep8
• isort
