Shortly after posting my question, I found the answer. The change was in fact done on purpose as a security measure. Pylint imports modules to effectively identify valid methods and attributes. It was decided that importing c extensions that are not part of the python stdlib is a security risk and could introduce malicious code. … Read more
As your code is not contained in a class or function it is expecting those variables to be constants and as such they should be uppercase. You can read PEP8 for further information.
You can create .pylintrc file in your python script to overwrite pylint settings and put inside [FORMAT] max-line-length=240 edit 240 based on your choice.
Adding the following to my .pylintrc files works with Pylint 0.25: [MASTER] ignore=migrations My problems are with PyDev which (it seems) is not respecting my settings. This is due, I think, to the fact that it’s running Pylint per-file, which I think bypasses ‘ignore’ checks – whether for modules/directories or files. The calls to Pylint … Read more
Solution pip install pylint-flask pip install pylint-flask-sqlalchemy Load the installed plugin. For example, if you use VS code, please edit settings.json file as follows: “python.linting.pylintArgs”: [“–load-plugins”, “pylint_flask_sqlalchemy”, “pylint_flask”] Optional If having other warnings, define remaining members in generated-members in pylintrc file.
Use None as a default value: def func(items=None): if items is None: items = [] print items The problem with a mutable default argument is that it will be shared between all invocations of the function — see the “important warning” in the relevant section of the Python tutorial.
Moving it to a function is common, if it doesn’t touch the class at all. If it manipulates class attributes, use the classmethod decorator: @classmethod def spam(cls, …): # cls is the class, you can use it to get class attributes classmethod and staticmethod (which is the same as the former, except that the method … Read more
A linter’s job is to make you aware of potential issues with your code, and as you say in your question, it should not have the last word. If you’ve considered what pylint has to say and decided that for this class, the attributes you have are appropriate (which seems reasonable to me), you can … Read more
First, one of Perlis’s epigrams: “If you have a procedure with 10 parameters, you probably missed some.” Some of the 10 arguments are presumably related. Group them into an object, and pass that instead. Making an example up, because there’s not enough information in the question to answer directly: class PersonInfo(object): def __init__(self, name, age, … Read more
Pylint often chatters on about stuff it shouldn’t. You can disable the warning in a .pylintrc file. This page http://pylint-messages.wikidot.com/messages:w0141 indicates the problem is that filter and map have been superseded by list comprehensions. A line like this in your pylintrc file will quiet the warning: disable=W0141
