pylint no member issue but code still works vscode

Question

I have a very simple code here

import torch

l = torch.nn.Linear(2,5)
v = torch.FloatTensor([1, 2])
print(l(v))

under torch.FloatTensor , pylint in visual studio code claims that 'Module torch has no 'FloatTensor' member pylint(no-member).

However, the code works fine. Is this a false positive? How can I disable pylint for this specific instance?

Answer 1

1. Press: CTRL + Shift + P

2. Click on "Preferences: Open Settings (JSON)"

3. Add this line into JSON : "python.linting.pylintArgs": ["--generated-members", "from_json,query"]

Answer 2

Yes it is a problem of Pylint

If you use Anaconda, you can do:
1. search python.linting.pylintPath in your VSCode setting
2. change it to (You Anaconda Path)\\pkgs\\pylint-1.8.4-py36_0\\Scripts\\pylint

You Anaconda Path and pylint-1.8.4-py36_0 may vary

Answer 3

What worked for me was noticing what modules were giving those errors, which is torch for you, and then followed these steps:

1. hit CTRL + Shift + P
2. click on "Preferences: Open Settings (JSON)"
3. add the following to the JSON file you are presented with:

"python.linting.pylintArgs": [
    "--generated-members", "torch.*"
]

for the sake of this answer, say that there were other modules giving problems, then you'd write:

"python.linting.pylintArgs": [
    "--generated-members", "torch.* other_module.* next_module.*"
]

Answer 4

A better answer to this question here: Why does it say that module pygame has no init member?

The answer above marked as the answer with references to Anaconda doesn't make sense to me, probably a newbie issue.

Please follow the link to get the real scoop, but to summarize -

Replacing extensionname with your problem module name, such as pygame or RPi or Torch:

1. Hit CTRL + Shift + P

2. Click on "Preferences: Open Settings (JSON)"

3. Add the following to the JSON file you are presented with (inside the {}, if there are entries already there add leading comma as well):

   "python.linting.pylintArgs": [ "--extension-pkg-whitelist=extensionname" // comma separated ]

Answer 5

As Tomari says, it does works on windows.There is a little difference on linux. The path maybe like "(You Anaconda Path)/pkgs/pylint-2.6.0-py38_0/bin/pylint".
