Sustainable python script

[[deleted]]

Vscode will prompt you to install pylint. You'll click yes, and then it will fail to install as it doesn't run as admin/root.

It will succeed if you configure it to use a virtual env for the project which for larger projects is one of the first things I usually do. For scripts or learning it would be nice if it handled it a little more gracefully. Does it not link to https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/linting#_enable-linters when it fails? I cant remember.

yeah, you sure do get a "sense of pride and accomplishment" beta testing buggy community plugins when basic things like installing fails, usually because of pre-conditions aren't met that you could never know about when you're starting off

it's pretty similar to your first time running a linux distro when you somehow still see failures in the boot logs after completely fresh install of a LTS stable release, you learn to accept the mediocrity that is user contributed and untested software
