Bear in mind, when I say, "Pylint is opinionated", I mean the tool -- especially in its default configuration -- has its own opinion of what is good style, and *I think its wrong on a number of points*. Its fine to use, but I'd read over PEP8 (the document, not the tool) and apply style guide recommendations thoughtfully, not mechanically. -- Stephen Hansen m e @ i x o k a i . i o -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
