If you are interested, you can check the full list of improvements in our changelogs for the Python<\/a>, Jupyter<\/a> and Pylance<\/a> extensions.<\/p>\n Our team is working towards breaking the tools support we offer in the Python extension into separate extensions, with the intent of improving performance, stability and no longer requiring the tools to be installed in a Python environment – as they can be shipped alongside an extension. The first one we started to work on is Pylint<\/a>.<\/p>\n This new extension uses the Language Server Protocol<\/a> to provide linting support, and it ships with the latest version of pylint.<\/a> It also provides additional ways to configure the severity levels of the issues reported via pylint. For example:<\/p>\n Note<\/strong>: You may see two entries for the same problem in the\u00a0Problems<\/strong> panel if you also have Pylint enabled in the Python extension. You can disable the built-in linting functionality by setting\u00a0“python.linting.pylintEnabled”: false.<\/p>\n You can try this new extension out today by installing it from the marketplace<\/a>. If you have any issues or feature requests, you can file them at the Pylint extension\u2019s GitHub repository<\/a>.<\/p>\n To be more consistent with other extensions in VS Code, we moved the selected interpreter version display towards the right side in the status bar, next to the language status item Python<\/strong>. It is now only displayed when a Python or a settings.json file is currently open, to avoid cluttering the status bar:<\/p>\n You can now create empty Python or Jupyter notebook files by running the \u201cFile: Create New\u2026\u201d command in the command palette, or by clicking on \u201cNew File\u2026\u201d\u00a0 from VS Code\u2019s welcome page:<\/p>\n In the February 2022 release, we made some improvements<\/a> to the experience when using Anaconda environments, which caused a regression<\/a> when running files in activated conda environments. These issues are now fixed in this release.<\/p>\n We have also added small enhancements and fixed issues requested by users that should improve your experience working with Python \u00a0 and Jupyter Notebooks in Visual Studio Code. Some notable changes include:<\/p>\n We would also like to extend special thanks to this month\u2019s contributors:<\/p>\n Try out these new improvements by\u00a0downloading the Python extension<\/a>\u00a0and the Jupyter extension<\/a> from the Marketplace or install them directly from the extensions view in Visual Studio Code (Ctrl\u00a0+\u00a0Shift\u00a0+\u00a0X\u00a0or\u00a0\u2318\u00a0+\u00a0\u21e7\u00a0+\u00a0X).
