Goal: get flake8 linting working

I setup a new conda venv. I try to select Flake8 as my linter in Command Palette.

Update: I've installed pip and flake8. However, VS Code prompts:

• Linter flake8 is not installed
• There is no pip installer in the selected environment

Ubuntu Bash Terminal:

(sdg) me@PF2DCSXD:/mnt/c/Users/me/Documents/GitHub/foo/bar$ sudo apt-get install python3-pip

I've been following along to these solutions with no luck

Install Pip

Use Flake8

CodePudding user response：

I suggest you create a conda environment properly:

conda create -n "myenv" python

then, activate the environment:

conda activate myenv

finally, install flake:

pip install flake8
