pydev pylint eclipse-3.5

I have installed pylint via easy_install. I can run pylint <filename> with success. But pydev refuses to use it.

  • I checked "use pylint"
  • I configured correct path
  • I updated my python interpreter in eclipse to have pylit in pythonpath
  • I use Eclipse Galileo
  • I have build automatically checked
  • I tried cleaning whole project and no errors

What am I doing wrong?

I'm guessing you may need to mark the folder that contains your code as a source folder. You can do this under project properties.

  • Project->Properties->PyDev-PYTHONPATH
  • add relevant folders to the list of sources.
