I am struggling to set up Visual Studio Code as an external editor. Each time it opens in Houdini 17.5 it neither has linting nor modules imported. It doesn't see pip and other scripts as well.

Switched to pycharm after this gamechanger: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24197970/pycharm-import-external-library [stackoverflow.com]

you might be using visualCode as IDE, but the compiler might be pointing to the regular python folder, you might need to change the python interpreter to use the one that comes inside Houdini folder

I did, but compiler with houdini is stripped-down (for example no pip). Also you can't add external libraries in visual code, because those are in separate folder $HFS/houdini/python2.7libs
