Start PyLint from correct anaconda environment in Visual Studio Code

Question

I'm trying to make PyLint automagically use correct conda environment inside vscode but still getting import errors: [pylint] E0401:Unable to import 'django', although:

• I'm starting vscode from correct environment. [1]
• I have installed Python extension. [2]
• I have set correct python.path. [3]

Answer 1

You have to install pylint in this conda environment.

1. Activate given environment with activate env_name (Windows) or source activate env_name.

2. Install pylint in this environment:

   conda install pylint # or 'pip install pylint'
   

3. Finally, restart vscode.
