Building container image

cd python
docker build --progress=plain -t pydev .

Configuring linters, formaters, etc.

Tools can be configured by:

• Recommended: Usually each tool supports per project configuration settings file. Some of the tools comply to PEP518 and use pyproject.toml to store their configuration values. Other tools use their own configuration files that can be placed in projects root, users home, or might have global system configuration. Read tools documentation.
• You can pass VScode configuration settings devcontainer.json. Usually these are command line arguments for tools that VScode will send to a tool on invocation. Example:

    "settings": {
      "python.defaultInterpreterPath": "/usr/local/bin/python",
      "python.linting.enabled": true,
      "python.linting.pylintEnabled": false,
      "python.linting.flake8Enabled": true,
      "python.linting.pylintArgs": [
        // "--disable=missing-docstring,unused-import",
        "--max-line-length=120",
        "--disable=C0111,W0611"
      ],
      "python.linting.flake8Args": [
        "--max-line-length=120",
        "--ignore=E402,F841,F401,W503"
      ],
    }
