Jedi gets a new parser
by Dave Halter Oct. 2, 2014

Oct. 2, 2014

Hi all! I will be writing a new parser for Jedi. This is necessary for a quite a few reasons described in: https://github.com/davidhalter/jedi/issues/480. I'm posting this here, because some of you may be interested in actually using the new parser. It's going to be pure Python and contrary to the Python's internal parser will have error recovery and indent positions. If you're interested, I'd be really glad to hear your feedback! ~ Dave

reclaiming pyflakes maintainership
by Phil Frost Sept. 22, 2014

Sept. 22, 2014

Would people mind if I re-claimed maintainership of pyflakes? I have the greatest gratitude for the people who have helped keep it current and updated all these years, but now I'm finding myself with some time on my hands and a desire to do something about the open pull requests in github.

Flake8 Development Has Moved
by Ian Cordasco Sept. 21, 2014

Sept. 21, 2014

Hi all, Flake8 - a linting and style tool that combines pep8, pyflakes, and mccabe - has moved its development off of BitBucket to GitLab. The transition from Mercurial to Git was discussed and took place last weekend. For further information please read this blog post: http://www.coglib.com/~icordasc/blog/2014/09/flake8-in-transition.html Cheers, Ian Cordasco Flake8 Maintainer and Core Developer

Request For Comments: Moving Flake8 development to Git
by Ian Cordasco Sept. 13, 2014

Sept. 13, 2014

Hey all, Since the beginning Flake8 has been developed entirely in mercurial. There's been some push back lately about it not being available in git. For a time there, Bruno maintained a git mirror on which we accepted pull requests, but neither of us had the time to maintain it after a while. Given the popularity of git, it seems reasonable to move the development. There are tools to preserve the repository history so nothing will be lost. What does the code-quality community think? Cheers, Ian

pylint for cython?
by Skip Montanaro Sept. 12, 2014

Sept. 12, 2014

I have slowly been converting some Python source to Cython. I'm pretty conservative in what changes I make, mostly sprinkling a few "cdef", "float" and "int" declarations around the pyx file. Still, conservative or not, it's enough to choke pylint. Rather than have to maintain a pure Python version of my code, it would be nice if pylint had a flag or if there was a "cylint" tool available. A few Google and PyPi searches failed to reveal anything. Is there something out there? Thanks, Skip

Putting files (html and text) in an alternate directory
by Mark E. Hamilton Sept. 5, 2014

Sept. 5, 2014

Is there a way to tell pylint to write the html or text files it generates in a directory other than the current directory? I want to be able to put the file in a web-accessible directory, while testing a set of code which is not in that location. -- ---------------- Mark E.

dedicated pylint dev mailing list
by Sylvain Thénault Sept. 5, 2014

Sept. 5, 2014

Hi there, as you probably know, we recently moved discussion about pylint to this mailing list. As this is not very suitable channel for coordination among pylint developpers, we decided to create a dedicated channel for this topic. If you are interested, please subscribe to http://lists.logilab.org/mailman/admindb/pylint-dev More general topics and user related questions should be kept here. -- Sylvain Thénault, LOGILAB, Paris (01.45.32.03.12) - Toulouse (05.62.17.16.42) Formations Python, Debian, Méth.

Pylint not reporting modules passed on command line
by Mark E. Hamilton Sept. 3, 2014

Sept. 3, 2014

Hi, again, I've got a test structure that looks like this: % find . . ./test_dir1 ./test_dir1/subdir1 ./test_dir1/subdir1/test1.py ./test_dir2 ./test_dir2/subdir2 ./test_dir2/subdir2/test2.py If I pass both .py files to pylint on the command line it processes both, but only reports one of them in the 'by module' section. % pylint test_dir1/subdir1/test1.py test_dir2/subdir2/test2.py No config file found, using default configuration ************* Module test1 C: 5, 0: Line too long (87/80) (line-too-long) ... ************* Module test2 C: 1, 0: Missing module docstring (missing-docstring) ... % errors / warnings by module ----------------------------- +-------+------+--------+---------+-----------+ |module |error |warning |refactor |convention | +=======+======+========+=========+===========+ |test2 |0.00 |100.00 |100.00 |60.00 | +-------+------+--------+---------+-----------+ ... Statistics by type ------------------ +---------+-------+-----------+-----------+------------+---------+ |type |number |old number |difference |%documented |%badname | +=========+=======+===========+===========+============+=========+ |module |2 |2 |= |0.00 |0.00 | +---------+-------+-----------+-----------+------------+---------+ ... It's always the same file (test2.py) which gets reported, even if I change the order of the files on the command line. The same thing occurs if I pass --output-format=text or --output-format=html; both the pylint_global.txt and pylint_global.html files are missing the test1.py module from the 'errors/warnings by module' section. Is this a bug, or just something I'm doing wrong or misunderstanding? -- ---------------- Mark E.

How and where to add tests for Python 3
by François Magimel Sept. 3, 2014

Sept. 3, 2014

Hello! I'm new in this mailing, so I will introduce myself first. I'm François (alias Linkid), a French engineering student who code mainly in Python. I'm involved in some open source projects and some of them like Django or OpenStack. I would like to add a test for Python 3 to check an import, but I don't really know on which project (pep8, pyflakes, …) to do that and how to do it (by a push request on github or somewhere else, by a bug report, …). I searched some clue and I think my test should be used by pyflakes, but I'm not sure… So, here are my questions: - on which project should I add a Python 3 import test ? - how I should process ? I think it could help be a lot if someone explain me what one project really check, if it is possible. Thank you. François Magimel (Linkid)
