I don’t think it makes sense to make your code weird just so pylint is happy. Instead, ignore it, or add a comment to disable that warning in the current scope: # pylint: disable=no-value-for-parameter
If you want to continue using tabs, you can change the following settings in the .pylintrc file: indent-string=’\t’ indent-after-paren=1 If you only change the first one, pylint will expect four tabs to be used for indentation.
