Did this ever happen? I feel like it did, but can’t find the thread now.
I’ve just hit this again, hard. VS Code has the immensely annoying default of expecting you to install pylint, black etc in every environment that you want to run code in. I know you can specify an explicit path to the tools, but to do that you need an exe somewhere - and that’s exactly the “standalone app discussions” issue that I’d like to discuss further. At the moment, I need to set up and manage some sort of “tools” virtualenv (or in practice a standalone copy of Python) and there’s nothing in the ecosystem to encourage the authors of tools like pylint and black to offer anything more user-friendly
