@merliang,

Thank you. Two things:

1. Please add the actual error.
2. It should not be necessary to install the python dictionary. It is included in CSpell by default and should be enabled for all python files.

There are a few of ways to enabled the dictionary in non-python files:

1. Add cspell:dictionary python to the file. It will turn on the python dictionary.
2. Add it to one of the dictionary sections in the config file.
   cspell.config.yaml

   dictionaries:
     - python # Add Python dictionary here to always have it on.
   
   overrides:
     - filename: 
       - '**/docs/**/*.md' # glob pattern to match all markdown files in the docs folder
       dictionaries:
         - python # Enable Python dictionary for markdown files in the docs folder
   
   languageSettings:
     - languageId: 
         - vue # the file type to apply the settings to
       dictionaries: 
         - python # Enable Python dictionary for Vue files
