Recently I get the error message below when running pylint in VSCode. When I run pylint in cmd using "pylint <file/to/python/file> it works just fine. It worked very well until a few weeks ago. No obvious changes have been made to the system.
VSCode version: 1.87.2 python version: 3.12.0 and 3.9.5 operating system: windows10

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you
user settings json had the following setting:
"pylint.path": ["--max-line-length=120"]
This setting causes the problem because it changes the pylint path.
This can also be seen in the logs:
2024-03-19 17:52:59.413 [info] --max-line-length=120 --version.
This should have looked like this:
2024-03-20 23:11:02.400 [info] c:\Program Files\Python312\python.exe -m pylint --version.
In case anyone else needs to analyze such issues, this was my approach:
