When using flycheck, how to permanently disable pylint?

Question

I'm using Doom Emacs on macOS, if it matters.

Essentially, I'd like to disable the pylint checker entirely when editing Python files. I don't use pylint, and I don't have it installed in my Pyenv environments; it gives me false positives.

But I'm not a skilled Emacs user, and I can't figure out how to disable it. I have this in my config:

(use-package! flycheck
  :config
  (add-to-list 'flycheck-disabled-checkers 'python-pylint)
  (add-hook 'pyhon-mode-local-vars-hook
          (lambda ()
            (when (flycheck-may-enable-checker 'python-flake8)
              (flycheck-select-checker 'python-flake8)))))

But it doesn't seem to matter -- every time I open a Python file, it tries to start up pylint.

Have you checked flycheck-disabled-checkers explicitily to make sure it includes python-pylint? What happens if you do the (add-to-list 'flycheck-disabled-checkers 'python-pylint) by hand? Does flycheck skip it then? — NickD, Oct 01 '20 at 22:12

This is working for me:

(use-package flycheck
  :config
  (setq-default flycheck-disabled-checkers '(python-pylint)))

I took a look at the flycheck docs and the following worked, as suggested by the docs:

(setq-default flycheck-disabled-checkers '(python-pylint))
