Pylint not working when in pipenv virtualenv

[bmarden]

I think this is a bug, but I'm not sure so posting in Q&A

When I try to use pylint in a virtual environment using pipenv, pylint fails with the error below. When using my globally installed version of pylint, it works correctly.

Vscode output tab:

> ~/.local/share/virtualenvs/blog-db-loader-7J7v1WBI/bin/python ~/.vscode/extensions/ms-python.python-2022.0.1814523869/pythonFiles/linter.py -m pylint ./main.py
cwd: .
##########Linting Output - pylint##########

If I run the pylint command in the terminal, it works correctly

~/.local/share/virtualenvs/blog-db-loader-7J7v1WBI/bin/python -m pylint ./main.py

I have the following workspace settings:

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

I've also tried using the pre-release version and the previous version, v2022.0.1814523869, of the python extension.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
