VScode configuration that helps you write python code better!

settings.json

{
    "editor.formatOnSave": true,
    "python.linting.mypyEnabled": true,
    "python.formatting.provider": "black",
    "python.sortImports.args": [
        "--profile",
        "black"
    ],
    "[python]": {
        "editor.codeActionsOnSave": {
            "source.organizeImports": true
        }
    },
    "python.linting.mypyArgs": [
        "--follow-imports=silent",
        "--ignore-missing-imports",
        "--show-column-numbers"
    ]
}

settings_experimental.json

{
    "editor.formatOnSave": true,
    "python.linting.mypyEnabled": true,
    "python.formatting.provider": "autopep8",
    "python.formatting.autopep8Path": "autopep8",
    "python.formatting.blackPath": "black",
    "python.formatting.blackArgs": [
        "--line-length",
        "88"
    ],
    "python.formatting.autopep8Args": [
        "--aggressive",
        "--aggressive",
        "--max-line-length=88",
        "--experimental",
    ],
    "python.linting.enabled": true,
    "python.linting.lintOnSave": true,
    "python.sortImports.args": [
        "--profile",
        "black"
    ],
    "[python]": {
        "editor.codeActionsOnSave": {
            "source.organizeImports": true
        }
    },
    "python.linting.mypyArgs": [
        "--follow-imports=silent",
        "--ignore-missing-imports",
        "--show-column-numbers"
    ]
}

settings.json is what I have been using for a very long time and it works like a charm.

settings_experimental.json - has some new features which I am testing out - like automatically fixing linting errors, use autopep8 , etc. You can try that as well if you want.
