Use the -d / --disable option to turn off the “C” and “R” message classes (convention and refactor):
-d <msg ids>, --disable=<msg ids>
Disable the message, report, category or checker with
the given id(s). You can either give multiple
identifiers separated by comma (,) or put this option
multiple times (only on the command line, not in the
configuration file where it should appear only
once).You can also use "--disable=all" to disable
everything first and then reenable specific checks.
For example, if you want to run only the similarities
checker, you can use "--disable=all
--enable=similarities". If you want to run only the
classes checker, but have no Warning level messages
displayed, use"--disable=all --enable=classes
--disable=W"
Without the disable option (6 convention, 1 refactor, 2 warning, 1 error):
$ pylint x.py
C: 1, 0: Missing module docstring (missing-docstring)
C: 3, 0: Missing function docstring (missing-docstring)
R: 3, 0: Too many statements (775/50) (too-many-statements)
W:780,15: Redefining name 'path' from outer scope (line 796) (redefined-outer-name)
C:780, 0: Invalid function name "getSection" (invalid-name)
C:780, 0: Empty function docstring (empty-docstring)
C:782,23: Invalid variable name "inPath" (invalid-name)
W:785, 4: Statement seems to have no effect (pointless-statement)
E:785, 4: Undefined variable 'something' (undefined-variable)
C:796, 4: Invalid constant name "path" (invalid-name)
After using the disable option (0 convention, 0 refactor, 2 warning, 1 error):
$ pylint --disable=R,C x.py
W:780,15: Redefining name 'path' from outer scope (line 796) (redefined-outer-name)
W:785, 4: Statement seems to have no effect (pointless-statement)
E:785, 4: Undefined variable 'something' (undefined-variable)
To set this option in pylintrc:
disable=R,C
