How do I tell PyLint “it's a variable, not a constant” to stop message C0103?

Question

I have a module-level variable in my Python 2.6 program named \"_log\", which PyLint complains about:

C0103: Invalid name \"_log\" (should match (([A-Z_][A-Z         


        

Answer 1

If you disable a message locally in your file then Pylint will report another different warning!

Locally disabling invalid-name (C0103) [I:locally-disabled] 

If your intention is for a clean lint run, and surely that should be the target otherwise why are you bothering, then you can disable that message and the corresponding locally-enabled message in your configuration file:

disable=locally-disabled, locally-enabled
