The pylint similarity checks cannot distinguish parameter lists from other code; with the QAPISchemaVisitor interface having long lists of parameters, these similarity checks fire off in a way that's difficult to disable in a targeted way without littering the code with pylint pragmas.
There is a change request filed to be able to ignore parameter lists, see: https://github.com/PyCQA/pylint/issues/3619 Signed-off-by: John Snow <js...@redhat.com> --- scripts/qapi/pylintrc | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/scripts/qapi/pylintrc b/scripts/qapi/pylintrc index 5091a08f12..fb444e93bb 100644 --- a/scripts/qapi/pylintrc +++ b/scripts/qapi/pylintrc @@ -18,6 +18,7 @@ ignore-patterns=schema.py, # --disable=W". disable=fixme, missing-docstring, + similarities, # See https://github.com/PyCQA/pylint/issues/3619 too-many-arguments, too-many-branches, too-many-statements, -- 2.26.2
