I've always found pylint to be pretty useless... see for example https://lukeplant.me.uk/blog/posts/pylint-false-positives/

I always pip install flake8 in my venvs and the standard Python extension can also use that just fine:

    "python.linting.pylintEnabled": false,
    "python.linting.flake8Enabled": true,


It's what we use at my workplace; not my call to make
