Can Pylint error checking be customized?

Question

I am using pydev where I have set up pylint. The problem is that even inside the comments, pylint reports warnings. I was looking to disable any sort of checking inside any line

Answer 1

There are two ways I customize pylint.

Using a config file

The first way is where you

• call pylint to generate a template config file
• then you tailor the config file to your needs/wants
• then you put the config file in your the default pylint config file location or always call pylint and specify the config file path

Using a wrapper script

The second way is where you create a wrapper script that calls pylint and in the wrapper script you have a bunch of lines that look like:

pylint \
       ${options_here} \
       --disable=xyz1 \
       --disable=xyz_2 \
       ${more_options} \
       --disable=xyz_N \
       --disable=abc \
       $@

Currently I am using the wrapper script approach because I want the issues to be sorted by line number and I did some shell scripting to get that sorting order.
