Behind the scenes
How are identified applicable files
- File extensions:
.py
How the linting is performed
- pylint is called once with the list of files as arguments (
list_of_filesCLI lint mode)
Example calls
pylint myfile.py
pylint --rcfile .python-lint myfile.py
Help content
usage: pylint [options]
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
Commands:
Options which are actually commands. Options in this group are mutually exclusive.
--rcfile RCFILE Specify a configuration file to load.
--output OUTPUT Specify an output file.
--help-msg HELP_MSG [HELP_MSG ...]
Display a help message for the given message id and
exit. The value may be a comma separated list of
message ids.
--list-msgs Display a list of all pylint's messages divided by
whether they are emittable with the given interpreter.
--list-msgs-enabled Display a list of what messages are enabled, disabled
and non-emittable with the given configuration.
--list-groups List pylint's message groups.
--list-conf-levels Generate pylint's confidence levels.
--list-extensions List available extensions.
--full-documentation Generate pylint's full documentation.
--generate-rcfile Generate a sample configuration file according to the
current configuration. You can put other options
before this one to get them in the generated
configuration.
--generate-toml-config
Generate a sample configuration file according to the
current configuration. You can put other options
before this one to get them in the generated
configuration. The config is in the .toml format.
--long-help Show more verbose help.
Main:
--init-hook INIT_HOOK
Python code to execute, usually for sys.path
manipulation such as pygtk.require().
--errors-only, -E In error mode, messages with a category besides ERROR
or FATAL are suppressed, and no reports are done by
default. Error mode is compatible with disabling
specific errors.
--verbose , -v In verbose mode, extra non-checker-related info will
be displayed.
--enable-all-extensions
Load and enable all available extensions. Use --list-
extensions to see a list all available extensions.
--ignore <file>[,<file>...]
Files or directories to be skipped. They should be
base names, not paths. (default: ('CVS',))
--ignore-patterns <pattern>[,<pattern>...]
Files or directories matching the regular expression
patterns are skipped. The regex matches against base
names, not paths. The default value ignores Emacs file
locks (default: (re.compile('^\\.#'),))
--ignore-paths <pattern>[,<pattern>...]
Add files or directories matching the regular
expressions patterns to the ignore-list. The regex
matches against paths and can be in Posix or Windows
format. Because '\\' represents the directory
delimiter on Windows systems, it can't be used as an
escape character. (default: [])
--persistent <y or n>
Pickle collected data for later comparisons. (default:
True)
--load-plugins <modules>
List of plugins (as comma separated values of python
module names) to load, usually to register additional
checkers. (default: ())
--fail-under <score> Specify a score threshold under which the program will
exit with error. (default: 10)
--fail-on <msg ids> Return non-zero exit code if any of these
messages/categories are detected, even if score is
above --fail-under value. Syntax same as enable.
Messages specified are enabled, while categories only
check already-enabled messages. (default: )
--jobs <n-processes>, -j <n-processes>
Use multiple processes to speed up Pylint. Specifying
0 will auto-detect the number of processors available
to use, and will cap the count on Windows to avoid
hangs. (default: 1)
--limit-inference-results <number-of-results>
Control the amount of potential inferred values when
inferring a single object. This can help the
performance when dealing with large functions or
complex, nested conditions. (default: 100)
--extension-pkg-allow-list <pkg[,pkg]>
A comma-separated list of package or module names from
where C extensions may be loaded. Extensions are
loading into the active Python interpreter and may run
arbitrary code. (default: [])
--extension-pkg-whitelist <pkg[,pkg]>
A comma-separated list of package or module names from
where C extensions may be loaded. Extensions are
loading into the active Python interpreter and may run
arbitrary code. (This is an alternative name to
extension-pkg-allow-list for backward compatibility.)
(default: [])
--suggestion-mode <y or n>
When enabled, pylint would attempt to guess common
misconfiguration and emit user-friendly hints instead
of false-positive error messages. (default: True)
--exit-zero Always return a 0 (non-error) status code, even if
lint errors are found. This is primarily useful in
continuous integration scripts. (default: False)
--from-stdin Interpret the stdin as a python script, whose filename
needs to be passed as the module_or_package argument.
(default: False)
--source-roots <path>[,<path>...]
Add paths to the list of the source roots. Supports
globbing patterns. The source root is an absolute path
or a path relative to the current working directory
used to determine a package namespace for modules
located under the source root. (default: ())
--recursive <yn> Discover python modules and packages in the file
system subtree. (default: False)
--py-version <py_version>
Minimum Python version to use for version dependent
checks. Will default to the version used to run
pylint. (default: (3, 12))
--ignored-modules <module names>
List of module names for which member attributes
should not be checked and will not be imported (useful
for modules/projects where namespaces are manipulated
during runtime and thus existing member attributes
cannot be deduced by static analysis). It supports
qualified module names, as well as Unix pattern
matching. (default: ())
--analyse-fallback-blocks <y or n>
Analyse import fallback blocks. This can be used to
support both Python 2 and 3 compatible code, which
means that the block might have code that exists only
in one or another interpreter, leading to false
positives when analysed. (default: False)
--clear-cache-post-run <y or n>
Clear in-memory caches upon conclusion of linting.
Useful if running pylint in a server-like mode.
(default: False)
--prefer-stubs <y or n>
Resolve imports to .pyi stubs if available. May reduce
no-member messages and increase not-an-iterable
messages. (default: False)
Reports:
Options related to output formatting and reporting
--output-format <format>, -f <format>
Set the output format. Available formats are: text,
parseable, colorized, json2 (improved json format),
json (old json format) and msvs (visual studio). You
can also give a reporter class, e.g.
mypackage.mymodule.MyReporterClass.
--reports <y or n>, -r <y or n>
Tells whether to display a full report or only the
messages. (default: False)
--evaluation <python_expression>
Python expression which should return a score less
than or equal to 10. You have access to the variables
'fatal', 'error', 'warning', 'refactor', 'convention',
and 'info' which contain the number of messages in
each category, as well as 'statement' which is the
total number of statements analyzed. This score is
used by the global evaluation report (RP0004).
(default: max(0, 0 if fatal else 10.0 - ((float(5 *
error + warning + refactor + convention) / statement)
* 10)))
--score <y or n>, -s <y or n>
Activate the evaluation score. (default: True)
--msg-template <template>
Template used to display messages. This is a python
new-style format string used to format the message
information. See doc for all details. (default: )
Messages control:
Options controlling analysis messages
--confidence <levels>
Only show warnings with the listed confidence levels.
Leave empty to show all. Valid levels: HIGH,
CONTROL_FLOW, INFERENCE, INFERENCE_FAILURE, UNDEFINED.
(default: ['HIGH', 'CONTROL_FLOW', 'INFERENCE',
'INFERENCE_FAILURE', 'UNDEFINED'])
--enable <msg ids>, -e <msg ids>
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 (only on the command line, not in the
configuration file where it should appear only once).
See also the "--disable" option for examples.
--disable <msg ids>, -d <msg ids>
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 re-enable 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".

dictionary (see the --spelling-private-dict-file
option) instead of raising a message. (default: n)
--max-spelling-suggestions N
Limits count of emitted suggestions for spelling
mistakes. (default: 4)
--spelling-ignore-comment-directives <comma separated words>
