VS Code + pylint integration with p5

[zaha]

Hey,

I've installed the lib on my system and copied the demo file. It runs well, but in VS Code with pylint it's giving me quite a lot of errors and warnings like:

• E0102:function already defined line 1 (setup function)
• E0102:function already defined line 1 (draw function)
• E0602:Undefined variable 'mouse_is_pressed'
• W0614:Unused import setup from wildcard import
• and lots more

How can I set this up to play well with VS Code and pylint?
Sorry if this may sound dumb, I'm pretty new to python :)

I personally don't really know how pylint works nor do I regularly use VS Code. I don't really know how to make p5 pylint-compatible. And I don't know when I'll get the time to look into this.

It would be great if someone's more familiar with pylint takes this up : ) I've tagged this as "help-wanted"

Great, thanks for the quick response. Hopefully somebody knows :)

btw, great library. I completely agree with your idea that Python is better suited for this than Java. Really hope the missing functionality is added soon as well! 👍

Pylint is configured locally with a .pylintrc file in the root directory of the project being lint-ed.

I encountered a related problem using pylint with Processing.py .pyde projects. Here is a gist with the .pylintrc file that I added to projects directories to make them meaningfully lintable. It is largely taken from the Processing API. The config for p5py would be different -- but, I imagine, highly related.

Very sorry, I referenced the wrong issue. I meant to reference #69.
