pylint

I am running PyLint on a Python project. PyLint makes many complaints about being unable to find numpy members. How can I avoid this while avoiding skipping membership checks. From the code: import numpy as np print np.zeros([1, 4]) Which, when ran, I get the expected: [[ 0. 0. 0. 0.]] However, pylint gives me this error: E: 3, 6: Module 'numpy' has no 'zeros' member (no-member) For versions, I am using pylint 1.0.0 (astroid 1.0.1, common 0.60.0) and trying to work with numpy 1.8.0 . If using Visual Studio Code with Don Jayamanne's excellent Python extension , add a user setting to whitelist

I would like to get some feedback on these tools on : features; adaptability; ease of use and learning curve. e-satis Well, I am a bit curious, so I just tested the 3 myself right after asking the question ;-) Ok, this is not a very serious review but here is what I can say : I tried the tools with the default settings (it's important because you can pretty much choose your check rules) on the following script : #!/usr/local/bin/python # by Daniel Rosengren modified by e-satis import sys, time stdout = sys.stdout BAILOUT = 16 MAX_ITERATIONS = 1000 class Iterator(object) : def __init__(self):

We've been long-time fans of pylint . Its static analysis has become a critical part of all our python projects and has saved tons of time chasing obscure bugs. But after upgrading from 1.3 -> 1.4, almost all compiled c extensions result in E1101(no-member) errors. Projects that previously run perfectly clean through pylint 1.3 now complain about almost every C extension member with E1101. We've been forced to disable E1101 errors, but this materially detracts from the usefulness of pylint . For example, this perfectly valid use of the lxml package r"""valid.py: demonstrate pylint 1.4 error"""

I split up my class constructor by letting it call multiple functions, like this: class Wizard: def __init__(self, argv): self.parse_arguments(argv) self.wave_wand() # declaration omitted def parse_arguments(self, argv): if self.has_correct_argument_count(argv): self.name = argv[0] self.magic_ability = argv[1] else: raise InvalidArgumentsException() # declaration omitted # ... irrelevant functions omitted While my interpreter happily runs my code, Pylint has a complaint: Instance attribute attribute_name defined outside __init__ A cursory Google search is currently fruitless. Keeping all
