pylint ignore by directory

Question

Following is from pylint docs:

--ignore=
    Add  to the black list. It should be a base name, not a path. You may set t         


        

Answer 1

You can not give a path but only the "basename" of the directory. E.g. use --ignore=lib instead of --ignore-=appengine-toolkit/gaetk/lib.

Problem is you will ignore all directories named lib.
