How to stop VSCode from generating cache files

[Larz60+]

How can I turn off (not hide) pycache output in VSCode?

Now is pycache something Python makes and not VSCode,if i understand what you mean.

Can hide if add in setting.json.

"files.exclude": {
    "**/*.pyc": {"when": "$(basename).py"},
    "**/__pycache__": true,
    }

To turn if off most change how Python work,look/search for PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE.
