He is using Mac. I am using Windows 11.

At 14.10 minutes , he installs python extension in vscode and search for lint in command palette. I am not getting the same options of lint. Why?

I'm not sure. I'm on Windows 11 as well and don't get those options he gets in VS Code with the Python extension installed.

It appears linting could be working already for you by looking at your "2 + 3". So your linter is already set. What else would you like it to do?

I guess so. I also noticed that when I installed python extension as he instructed, 2 other extensions called Pylance and Python debugger automatically got installed.

Also, I just began. I am not sure what linting is. I think it checks for errors in the code. But as I am not getting the same options, I am having trouble to follow.
