VS Code

There is no native Python "problemMatcher" for vscode tasks. Use the regexp pattern to make it work for basic tasks.

"problemMatcher":
    {
        "fileLocation": "absolute",
        "pattern": [
            {
                "regexp": "^\\s+File \"(.*)\", line (\\d+), in (.*)$",
                "file": 1,
                "line": 2
            },
            {
                "regexp": "^\\s+(.*)$",
                "message": 1
            }
        ]
    }
