Can Pylint error checking be customized?
I am using pydev where I have set up pylint. The problem is that even inside the comments, pylint reports warnings. I was looking to disable any sort of checking inside any line or a block comment. Also, I wish to follow camelCase naming convention instead of underscores for variables and arguments in my code. Is there any way to specify such a rule without inserting my code with any pylint: disable comments?
Answer
You can globally disable warnings of a certain class using
pylint --disable=W1234
or by using a special PyLint configuration file
pylint --rcfile=/path/to/config.file
A sample config file is given below:
[MESSAGES CONTROL]
# C0111 Missing docstring
# I0011 Warning locally suppressed using disable-msg
# I0012 Warning locally suppressed using disable-msg
# W0704 Except doesn't do anything Used when an except clause does nothing but "pass" and there is no "else" clause
# W0142 Used * or * magic* Used when a function or method is called using *args or **kwargs to dispatch arguments.
# W0212 Access to a protected member %s of a client class
# W0232 Class has no __init__ method Used when a class has no __init__ method, neither its parent classes.
# W0613 Unused argument %r Used when a function or method argument is not used.
# W0702 No exception's type specified Used when an except clause doesn't specify exceptions type to catch.
# R0201 Method could be a function
# W0614 Unused import XYZ from wildcard import
# R0914 Too many local variables
# R0912 Too many branches
# R0915 Too many statements
# R0913 Too many arguments
# R0904 Too many public methods
disable=C0111,I0011,I0012,W0704,W0142,W0212,W0232,W0613,W0702,R0201,W0614,R0914,R0912,R0915,R0913,R0904,R0801
