Pylint not working

Environment data

• VS Code version: 1.40.2
• Extension version (available under the Extensions sidebar): 2019.11.50794
• OS and version: MacOS and also Windows 7
• Python version (& distribution if applicable, e.g. Anaconda): conda python version 3.6.9
• Type of virtual environment used (N/A | venv | virtualenv | conda | …): conda
• Relevant/affected Python packages and their versions: pylint 2.4.4
• Jedi or Language Server? (i.e. what is "python.jediEnabled" set to; more info #3977): no

Expected behaviour

Since pylint is enabled it should find errors when I call “run linting” or save the .py file.

{
    "python.pythonPath": "/usr/local/miniconda3/envs/tf2/bin/python",
    "python.linting.pylintEnabled": true,
    "python.linting.enabled": true
}

Actual behaviour

It does not find anything when I save or call “run linting”.

Logs

Output for Python in the Output panel (View→Output, change the drop-down the upper-right of the Output panel to Python)

nothing here...

Output from Console under the Developer Tools panel (toggle Developer Tools on under Help; turn on source maps to make any tracebacks be useful by running Enable source map support for extension debugging)
