How do I get flake8 to reliably ignore rules in VS Code?

Question

Two things that annoy me. First is the warning Flake8 gives me when I type more than 80 characters on a line. Second is the warnings I get when I haven\'t yet used a module name

Answer 1

Add your arguments to your USER SETTINGS json file like this:

"python.linting.flake8Args": [
    "--max-line-length=120",
    "--ignore=E402,F841,F401,E302,E305",
],
