Hi, I am trying to use Pylint with Emacs on Windows XP. My Emacs version is EmacsW32 23.1, pylint is 0.21.3 with Python 2.5. After easy_install pylint, I added the code block below to Emacs init file, copied form Emacs Wiki.
(when (load "flymake" t) (defun flymake-pylint-init () (let* ((temp-file (flymake-init-create-temp-buffer-copy 'flymake-create-temp-inplace)) (local-file (file-relative-name temp-file (file-name-directory buffer-file-name)))) (list "epylint" (list local-file)))) (add-to-list 'flymake-allowed-file-name-masks '("\\.py\\'" flymake-pylint-init))) When I invoke the flymake-mode on a .py file, I can see the flymake starting the syntax check, the mode status changed to flymake*, and then goes back to flymake after several seconds. But no error is reported, and no syntax error highlighting. I tried to use pylint in command line, and it works with command "pylint test.py", reporting syntax errors on the same file. I even tried to clear out my .emacs file, but it doesn't help. Could someone help me on this? Thanks a lot. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
