What were the default formatter and linter for python extension?

[fireattack]

I'm currently migrating to python tool extensions per the guide, and I want to keep the exactly same behavior as before, so I would like to continue use the default ones.

The guide does not mention which one of these tools are the default previously.

My current settings only has "editor.defaultFormatter": "ms-python.python" and no mention of linter at all, so I have no clue.

Also I assume the import sorting functionality would be relying on separate extension(s) too - is the extension previously using isort or ruff?

Thanks in advance.

The linting setting has been deprecated. You have to install those helper extensions (autopep8, black, pylance, flake8) individually.
Before now you would have something like in the settings,

{
    "python.linting.enabled": true,
    "python.linting.pylintEnabled": true,
}

but this is no more available. To use Pylance, add the following setting to your settings.json:
"python.languageServer": "Pylance",

If you don't want to use the settings.json, select the Settings UI in the Command Panel:
Ctrl+Shift+P > Preferences: Open Settings UI
Search for Pylance in the search bar and under the Extensions, click on Python and set the Language Server to Pylance.

Chances are you were using autopep8 and isort.
