I'm using VS Code and it's Python Extension installed the linter Pylint 1.9.2 by default. However, It is highlighting some bugs/errors in my code which on execution worked correctly. A simple example:
class Point:
F0002:: generator raised StopIteration
While searching to resolve that issue, I found that it requires to upgrade/update the pylint to the latest version (Currently 2.2). I tired several commands on Git Bash terminal but no luck. The commands were
pip install pylint
Requirement already satisfied: pylint in c:\users\noor muhammad\appdata\roaming\python\python37\site-packages (1.9.2)
which pylint
which: no pylint in (/mingw64/bin:/usr/bin:/c/Users/Noor Muhammad/bin:/c/WINDOWS/system32:/c/WINDOWS:/c/WINDOWS/System32/Wbem:/c/WINDOWS/System32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0:/cmd:/mingw64/bin:/usr/bin:/c/Program Files/Microsoft VS Code/bin:/c/WINDOWS/System32/OpenSSH:/c/Users/Noor Muhammad/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python37-32/Scripts:/c/Users/Noor Muhammad/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python37-32:/c/Users/Noor Muhammad/AppData/Local/Microsoft/WindowsApps:/c/Users/Noor Muhammad/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python37-32/Lib/site-packages/pip/main.py)
I tired pip documentation but I wasn't able to find how to update the linter to the latest version.
Edit: The pip list is as follows:
astroid 1.6.5 colorama 0.3.9 isort 4.3.4 lazy-object-proxy 1.3.1 mccabe 0.6.1 pip 18.0 pylint 1.9.2 setuptools 39.0.1 six 1.11.0 wrapt 1.10.11
A help would be really appreciated. Thanks
SOLVED:
I went to the dictionary:
c:\users******\appdata\roaming\python\python37
and delete the site-package folder. then, the command:
python -m pip install pylint
took the rest.
P.S: Mod, please mark the solution as solved
