Hijacking this: does anyone know how to get vscode to use a python interpreter inside a docker container for linting? I’ve resorted to using the docker container, but also having a python env so that I can tell vscode to point to the python interpreter in the env to get linting. Otherwise, dependencies come up unresolved.

I did some googling, but I’m unfortunately not experienced enough to be able to describe the problem succinctly to google.

Using pylance, btw.

TIA!

Have you tried VSCode's remote abilities? Should do exactly as you describe. https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/remote-overview or https://devblogs.microsoft.com/python/remote-python-developm...

I’ve seen these and got it to work this way. I’m not too fond of working inside the container as it’s just a little more friction, but I’ve been working this way for a little bit now. I was hoping to avoid working in the container.

Try this: 1. Bring up command palette using `Ctrl+Shift+p` 2. Search and select "Python: Select Interpreter" 3. Select your Python environment.

This works in VSCode over SSH perfectly fine - the locally running VSCode is able to detect and select Python environments in the remote server.

The trouble with this is that the python environment is in the container - In step 2, id need to type path to the interpreter that it inside the container.

Although, now you’ve got me thinking what would happen if I mounted the interpreter inside the container to something local that I can point to? Might try this later, thanks for the help!

I regularly use asdf-vm to manage kubectl, python, nodejs, and a bunch of other stuff.

"Setting up a Python environment" takes about 10 minutes and it's dead nuts reliable.

It is a very effective package manager.
