Missing module docstring python

How can I remove Pylint’ s Missing module docstring Problem in visual studio code?

I’m new at python and i downloaded program today. I tried to say hello world but i got this problem after run and debug:

so in this question @ikhvjs is said that he used this code. But i don’t know where and how do i need to write this code in a code line in my user settings. I tried to find videos on the net but i couldn’t.

"python.linting.pylintArgs": [ "--disable=missing-module-docstring", "--disable=missing-class-docstring", "--disable=missing-function-docstring" ] 

 < "editor.tokenColorCustomizations": < "textMateRules": [ < "name": "One Dark italic", "scope": [ "comment", "entity.other.attribute-name", "keyword", "markup.underline.link", "storage.modifier", "storage.type", "string.url", "variable.language.super", "variable.language.this" ], "settings": < "fontStyle": "italic" >>, < "name": "One Dark italic reset", "scope": [ "keyword.operator", "keyword.other.type", "storage.modifier.import", "storage.modifier.package", "storage.type.built-in", "storage.type.function.arrow", "storage.type.generic", "storage.type.java", "storage.type.primitive" ], "settings": < "fontStyle": "" >> ] >, "liveServer.settings.donotShowInfoMsg": true, "workbench.colorTheme": "Dark SynthWave '84", "[python]": < "editor.formatOnType": true >> 

but it didn’t work. Now vs code PROBLEMS saying «Unknown editor configuration setting» how can i disable this missing module docstring? Do i need to uninstall pylint?

Missing module docstring Pylint (C0114:missing-module-docstring)

I typed in this code and keep getting this squiggly line under various keywords in my source code in the Visual Studio Code environment. Here’s a picture. I need to understand what this squiggly line is telling me. I need to know why. And, I need to get it to stop. The code does run even with the problem, but I don’t understand the nature of this feature.

if you don’t want linting for Python disable Pylint extension, you can also disable individual linting rules, see setting GUI and locate extension Pylint

What is Pylint for exactly? It was recommended to me by an instructor of mine. I’m just not sure if I really need it or not.

it finds common causes of problems by static analysis of the code, not all of the rules searched for are useful, you can individually switch them off, if you just write a simple script you don’t need a module doc string, why not perform a web search for module doc string to see what it is

pylint provides detailed code inspection following strict code specifications. It will help you write code that is more spec-compliant. Of course, there are a lot of error messages it provides that don’t affect the actual operation of the code, just tell you what the code is missing or where it doesn’t conform to the specification. As shown in your question, pylint is telling you that the docstring is missing here, but that doesn’t prevent you from running your code.

More information on linting can be found at this link.

You can turn off linting in the following ways.

• Ctrl + Shift + P —> Python: Enable/Disable linting

The linter can also be toggled in the following ways ( pylint is one of them).

• Ctrl + Shift + P —> Python: Select Linter —> choose one linter

You can also add the following configuration directly in settings.json to disable linting.

 "python.linting.enabled": false 

Some warnings can also be ignored by configuring the following parameters

 "python.linting.pylintArgs": [ "--disable=C0114", "--disable=W,E" ]

How do I disable «missing docstring» warnings at a file-level in Pylint?

Pylint throws errors that some of the files are missing docstrings. I try and add docstrings to each class, method and function, but it seems that Pylint also checks that files should have a docstring at the beginning of them. Can I disable this somehow? I would like to be notified of a docstring is missing inside a class, function or method, but it shouldn’t be mandatory for a file to have a docstring. (Is there a term for the legal jargon often found at the beginning of a proprietary source file? Any examples? I don’t know whether it is a okay to post such a trivial question separately.)

It is nice for a Python module to have a docstring, explaining what the module does, what it provides, examples of how to use the classes. This is different from the comments that you often see at the beginning of a file giving the copyright and license information, which IMO should not go in the docstring (some even argue that they should disappear altogether, see e.g. Get Rid of Source Code Templates)

With Pylint 2.4 and above, you can differentiate between the various missing-docstring by using the three following sub-messages:

• C0114 ( missing-module-docstring )
• C0115 ( missing-class-docstring )
• C0116 ( missing-function-docstring )

So the following .pylintrc file should work:

[MASTER] disable= C0114, # missing-module-docstring 

For previous versions of Pylint, it does not have a separate code for the various place where docstrings can occur, so all you can do is disable C0111. The problem is that if you disable this at module scope, then it will be disabled everywhere in the module (i.e., you won’t get any C line for missing function / class / method docstring. Which arguably is not nice.

So I suggest adding that small missing docstring, saying something like:

""" high level support for doing this and that. """ 

Soon enough, you’ll be finding useful things to put in there, such as providing examples of how to use the various classes / functions of the module which do not necessarily belong to the individual docstrings of the classes / functions (such as how these interact, or something like a quick start guide).
