Visual Studio Code - removing pylint
open the workspace settings file (select File > Preferences > Settings, then locate Python configuration) and edit this line as
"python.linting.pylintEnabled": false
then save the file.
If you just want to disable pylint then the updated VSCode makes it much more easier.
Just hit CTRL + SHIFT + P > Select linter > Disabled Linter.
Hope this helps future readers.
The question was how to remove python linter, not how to disable it.
In order to remove pylint open Powershell/cmd and type:
pip uninstall pylint
