Pylint load-plugins fails in VS Code

Question

Here is my config:

"python.linting.pylintArgs": [
    "--load-plugins", 
    "pylint-quotes"
  ],

I installed pylint-quotes with pip and pip3 but I still get an error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/pylint", line 11, in <module>
    sys.exit(run_pylint())
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pylint/__init__.py", line 16, in run_pylint
    Run(sys.argv[1:])
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pylint/lint.py", line 1274, in __init__
    linter.load_plugin_modules(self._plugins)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pylint/lint.py", line 500, in load_plugin_modules
    module = modutils.load_module_from_name(modname)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/astroid/modutils.py", line 190, in load_module_from_name
    return load_module_from_modpath(dotted_name.split('.'), path, use_sys)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/astroid/modutils.py", line 232, in load_module_from_modpath
    mp_file, mp_filename, mp_desc = imp.find_module(part, path)
ImportError: No module named pylint-quotes

I'm using mac. Should I specify somewhere a path to modules?

Answer 1

The plugin name is pylint_quotes .

"python.linting.pylintArgs": [
"--load-plugins", 
"pylint_quotes"
],

This should work.

Answer 2

Are you sure that you have the same python at both places? It might be the case that you are installing with different python (pip) and using another in VS.
