Hello! On behalf of the Pylint development team, I'm happy to announce that Pylint 1.4 has been released.
This release has a lot of improvements over the last one. One of the main differences is that support for Python versions < 2.7 has been droped, which allows us to support Python 2.7 and 3.3+ from a single codebase. Other important changes: * A Python 3 porting checker, activated by the new flag '--py3k'. This mode will disable all other checkers and will emit warnings and errors for constructs which are invalid or removed in Python 3. * New options for controlling the loading of C extensions. By default, only C extensions from the stdlib will be loaded into the active Python interpreter for inspection, because they can run arbitrary code on import. The option `--extension-pkg-whitelist` can be used to specify modules or packages that are safe to load. * An experimental support for using multiple workers to process files and packages, activated with the new --jobs flag. * A new spelling checker (disabled by default). * New warnings: boolean-datetime, logging-format-interpolation, inherit-non-class, mixed-line-endings * A lot of other small improvements and bug fixes. If you find any bugs, don't hesitate to open a new issue on our issue tracker. Enjoy! -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
