I am pretty new to python and currenty I am trying to use pylint for checking code quality. I am getting a problem. My pylint doesn't point to virtualenv python interpreter. Here is the output that I get when I run pylint --version

 $ pylint --version
   pylint 0.21.1,
   astng 0.20.1, common 0.50.3
   Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Jul 10 2013, 22:48:45)
   [GCC 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-3)]

In virtualenv I have python 2.7 installed. Will appretiate you help if someone can point me to how to solve that.

A cheap trick is to run (the global) pylint using the virtualenv python. You can do this using python $(which pylint) instead of just pylint. On zsh, you can also do python =pylint.
