Definitely agreed.
The pylint message that always irked me was:
W0142: Used * or ** magic
"magic"? They're features of the language!
It's a warning, because the use of that feature clobbers the static code
inspection you've asked for. PyLint is warning you “because the code
uses this feature, I can't say anything about undefined names”.
That's the best explanation I've heard for why they warn about it. I
wish they would find a more sophisticated word than "magic".
