Pylint in edx-platform

The Python plugin (published by Microsoft) has pylint support. The tricky bit is that you have to install all of the requirements in a local virtualenv, because pylint imports the python files to analyze them. So, in edx-platform, you'd need to make a virtualenv, pip install requirements/edx/development.txt, and then in VSCode, you need to

1. set your virtualenvironment root (Python: Venv Path in user settings)
2. set your workspace interpreter (Python: Select Interpreter in the command window [Ctrl + Shift + p])

Due to edx-platform sys.path stuff, you should also add stuff to the path that VSCode knows about by setting the following in your Workspace Settings

python.autoComplete.extraPaths": [
	"lms/djangoapps/",
	"cms/djangoapps/"
]
