How to disable all python linting in VSCode

Question

Using the Microsoft Python extension there doesn't appear to be a way to disable linting globally.

I don't mind linting when I am wondering where a typo is that is causing issues, but I certainly don't need it to tell me that the entire code block is bad when I start to add any code that isn't a complete line.

I have disabled every linter I can find in all the settings I can find, here's settings.json for instance:

    "python.linting.lintOnSave": false,
    "python.linting.pylintEnabled": false,
    "python.linting.pylintUseMinimalCheckers": false,
    "python.linting.enabled": false

I would think that there is a way to completely disable linting globally with one button click, but even just turning it off for python would be enough for me now. Am I asking too much?

What's the problem? You seem to have already disabled linting? — xrisk

That is the problem, with that setting of linting off in everywhere that I can find I still see the error squiggles — Roostercrab

I have even more of them disabled there: "python.linting.lintOnSave": false, "python.linting.pylintEnabled": false, "python.linting.pylintUseMinimalCheckers": false, "python.linting.pep8Enabled": false, "python.linting.flake8Enabled": false, "python.linting.mypyEnabled": false, "python.linting.pylamaEnabled": false, "python.linting.enabled": false, — Roostercrab

I thought I had fixed it by duplicating all the disables in all the settings.json files that I could find, however I still can't kill the linting by default. I might just have to switch to the other vscode python extension — Roostercrab

in my case just by going to the setting and searching for lint python in the search bar of the setting page and by unchecking the

Python > linting: Enabled:

did well and disabled the linting for python scripts!

I did this and I still have lints all over. Is there something else needed?

For me it wasn't a setting, I had to disable the Flake8 extension (there's also a Pylint extension and others).

I concur - the only thing that works is disabling the Flake8 extension.

Using VS Code circa v1.78.2, this worked:

Navigate to Extensions
Find Pylint, click the gear icon and select Disable
Find Pylance, click the gear icon and select Disable
Restart of VS Code was required and disabling both Pylint and Pylance was required

I didn't want to disable linter for all languages, but only for Python:

Find Linter extension by Nando Vieira, click the gear icon and select Extension Settings
Click on Edit in settings.json
Find pylint inside linter.linters and switch enabled value to false

Profit!

This method is also suitable for all required languages.
