pylintrc

# lint Python modules using external checkers.
#
# This is the main checker controling the other ones and the reports
# generation. It is itself both a raw checker and an astng checker in order
# to:
# * handle message activation / deactivation at the module level
# * handle some basic but necessary stats'data (number of classes, methods...)
#
[MASTER]

# Specify a configuration file.
#rcfile=

# Python code to execute, usually for sys.path manipulation such as
# pygtk.require().
#init-hook=

# Add files or directories to the blacklist. They should be base names, not
# paths.
ignore=

# Pickle collected data for later comparisons.
persistent=yes

# List of plugins (as comma separated values of python modules names) to load,
# usually to register additional checkers.
load-plugins=

# Use multiple processes to speed up Pylint.

# Allow loading of arbitrary C extensions. Extensions are imported into the
# active Python interpreter and may run arbitrary code.

[MESSAGES CONTROL]

# Only show warnings with the listed confidence levels. Leave empty to show
# all. Valid levels: HIGH, INFERENCE, INFERENCE_FAILURE, UNDEFINED
confidence=

# Enable the message, report, category or checker with the given id(s). You can
# either give multiple identifier separated by comma (,) or put this option
# multiple time. See also the "--disable" option for examples.
#enable=

# Disable the message, report, category or checker with the given id(s). You
# can either give multiple identifiers separated by comma (,) or put this
# option multiple times (only on the command line, not in the configuration
# file where it should appear only once).You can also use "--disable=all" to
# disable everything first and then reenable specific checks. For example, if
# you want to run only the similarities checker, you can use "--disable=all
# --enable=similarities". If you want to run only the classes checker, but have
# no Warning level messages displayed, use"--disable=all --enable=classes
# --disable=W"

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# 2015-01-12 - What follows is the list of all disabled items necessary
# to get a clean run of lint across CourseBuilder.  These are separated
# into three tiers:
#
# - Fix-worthy.  This includes:
#   - Probable bugs
#   - Easily-addressed hygiene issues,
#   - Real warnings which we may mark as suppressed on a case-by-case basis.
# - Items that are questionable practice, but not necessarily economical to fix.
# - Items that we intend to ignore, as we do not consider them bad practice.
#
# Warning messages are documented at http://docs.pylint.org/features.html
#
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Fix-worthy:
#
# ---- Possible bugs:
# disable=super-on-old-class
# disable=arguments-differ  (# of arguments to overriding/overridden method)
# disable=signature-differs
# disable=method-hidden
# disable=abstract-method  (Abstract method not overridden in derived class)
# disable=no-member  (self.foo used when foo not declared in class)
#
# ---- Easy-to-fix and improves readability, cleanliness:
# disable=relative-import
#
# ---- Probably legitimate, but needs markup to indicate intentionality
# disable=no-init  (Class does not have __init__, nor do ancestor classes)
# disable=import-error
# disable=attribute-defined-outside-init
#
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Fix when economical:
#
# ---- Minor code cleanliness problems; fix when encountered.
# disable=unused-argument
# disable=unused-variable
# disable=invalid-name  (Variable name does not meet coding standard)
# disable=duplicate-code
#
# ---- Laundry list of tunable parameters for when things are too big/small
# disable=abstract-class-little-used
# disable=too-few-public-methods
# disable=too-many-instance-attributes
# disable=too-many-ancestors
# disable=too-many-return-statements
# disable=too-many-lines
# disable=too-many-locals
# disable=too-many-function-args
# disable=too-many-public-methods
# disable=too-many-arguments
#
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Ignored; OK by our coding standard:
#
# disable=bad-continuation  (Bad whitespace on following line)
# disable=no-self-use       (Member function never uses 'self' parameter)
# disable=missing-docstring
# disable=fixme
# disable=star-args
# disable=locally-disabled  (Notes local suppression of warning)
# disable=locally-enabled   (Notes re-enable of suppressed warning)
# disable=bad-option-value  (Notes suppression of unknown warning)
# disable=abstract-class-not-used  (Warns when not used in same file)
#
# Unfortunately, since the options parsing does not support multi-line entries
# nor line continuation, all of the above items are redundantly specified here
# in a way that pylint is willing to parse.
