You may put it in:
/etc/pylintrcfor default global configuration~/.pylintrcfor default user configuration<your project>/pylintrcfor default project configuration (used when you’ll runpylint <your project>)- wherever you want, then use
pylint --rcfile=<wherever I want>
Also notice when generating the rc file, you may add option on the command line before the --generate-rcfile, they will be considered in the generated file.
