• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

[still pasture]

https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3135/

[edgy bone]

tysm!!

[edgy bone]

hey can you help me one more time?
so i cant find the linter in the pallete can you help me? ive have already installed pyhton in the extension but i cant find it

[still pasture]

I'm afraid I haven't used vsc in a while

[edgy bone]

ohh

okay then thank you for helping me for installing

[wind nebula]

Go to extensions, go to the extension and find a button to compile it/start it

[edgy bone]

to enable it? the its already enabled

[wind nebula]

oh ok, so it should work.

try the second tab in the search bar

Wait give me a sec

cough

I haven’t done this in a while

[edgy bone]

lol its okay

[wind nebula]

So you have it installed right

@edgy bone

[edgy bone]

ja

[wind nebula]

alright so

Your going to open the VSC command palette with pressing Ctrl+Shift+P, then find the option "Preferences: Open Settings (UI)" once your in there, find “linting” and scroll down and enable Python › Linting: Enabled

Then enable a specific linter like Pylint or Flake8

@edgy bone

Can you do this or no

[edgy bone]

hold on im trying

[wind nebula]

Alright ill wait

[edgy bone]

💔

[wind nebula]

No no

[edgy bone]

ahh i see

its lint

[wind nebula]

Yeah my bad

It could show up like that or like lint

If you don’t see it I have another method

Just tell me if it dooesnt work

[edgy bone]

i can find lint but not the phton

[wind nebula]

Try flake8

[edgy bone]

its css less and css

[wind nebula]

^

[edgy bone]

negative

[wind nebula]

okay then

We’re going to do this

First let me check

[edgy bone]

how?

[wind nebula]

Press Ctrl+Shift+P

[edgy bone]

yes its to pen the pallete

[wind nebula]

→ Python: Select Interpreter

Send SS

[still pasture]

that's all set up, it shows 3.13.5 in the corner here

[wind nebula]

Oh I should read the docs 😭

dumb me

[edgy bone]

why is it the problem?

can you tell me please

[atomic maple]

because of the syntax you wrote 2+

type something like a print("hello world")

to see if itm wroks

[edgy bone]

then what?

[atomic maple]

open the terminal

[edgy bone]

app.py/

[atomic maple]

cd to your code location

and then type

python the name of the script.py

[edgy bone]

wth is a cd 💔

[still pasture]

?? they just want linting

https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/linting

I guess the python extension doesn't include a linter? might be wrong, I don't rmb

[still pasture]

just follow this @edgy bone

[edgy bone]

im reading

witch linter should i chose?

for beginer

[wind nebula]

cd stands for change directory but your far away from terminal commands

Stick to understanding basic VSC codes modules and other configurations.

[celest ridge]

are you a beginner to programming in general, or to python specifically?

[wind nebula]

🤦

[edgy bone]

to programming

[celest ridge]

why do you want to use a linter?

[edgy bone]

to see potential erors?

[celest ridge]

the general purpose linters are not for errors, they are for code style, like, bad code practices. its not inherently an error, just not "good" code
though there are stuff like linters for common security vulnerabilities

[edgy bone]

ahh

[wind nebula]

I would recommend you learn configurations and what things do, for example what lingers do

Linters *

[edgy bone]

i watch python tut and he says "analyizing our code for potential erors"

[wind nebula]

It’s better to just read documents

They tell the whole like definitions

[still pasture]

the ms-python extension comes with everything needed to do that bit

[celest ridge]

^you just need to turn it on, its off by default (unless you mean analyzing for syntax errors, which is on by default)
should be called something like python: typechecking mode in the settings
though, note that this finds type errors, not logical ones (unless the logical ones stem from types, e.g. checking whether something is of a certain type when you declared that it shouldnt be). there is no way for a program to know what you had in mind, so it cant know whether the code actually solves the problem correctly or not

[latent galleon]

i also suggest installing the Error Lens extension on vsc to make them "stand out" more

[celest ridge]

from experience, i wouldn't recommend using a linter to a beginner, because i've seen to many beginners fight the linter thinking that their code is wrong, when really its just style nitpicks
basically a distraction

[edgy bone]

ohh

also thank for all of you, you guys helping me learn so much

[celest ridge]

have you already chosen a resource that you'll use to learn python? like a book or something

[edgy bone]

I'm still trying to find one, any recommendations?

[celest ridge]

#python-discussion message lists some, a lot of people here have done "automate the boring stuff"/cs50p as a general introduction, and "real python" has a bunch of well-written articles on specific topics
also, this server is one of the best resources too: humans tend to be good at answering questions of other humans, or, atleast, better than search engines a lot of the time. and you dont even have to ask something to learn, you can just lurk in someone's conversation and learn something, or someone will tell you something interesting even though you asked for something a bit different but related.
being around like-minded people with knowledge is really good

[edgy bone]

Okii
