Custom exit value of check-items
by 岳星兆 May 22, 2015

Hi, I’m using pylint in buildbot, and I want to customize failure items. Now I think buildbot give failure result since pylint returns(exit) contains 1 or 2. So, I wonder how can I customize an error/warning to trigger failure. e.g, when pylint found an C0101, it exit 1 or 2. Thanks Froilan

Site issues: Pylint Messages Wikidot
by Frank Wilson May 18, 2015

Does anyone on this list administrate pylint-messages.wikidot.com ? I just wanted to point out there is some pretty nasty ad code on there. I am getting click jerked to some random spammy website every time I hit my back button. I'm confident my computer is clean. I probably haven't noticed until now because I usually run uBlock in my browser (but was not on this occasion). Thought I should reach out to the warn the community as it comes up pretty high in google search ranks. Regards, Frank

Jedi 0.9.0 is now a static analysis library
by Dave Halter May 4, 2015

May 4, 2015

Hi! This is an announcement to make you consider using Jedi as a static analysis library for your own stuff. If you want to build a refactoring or a linter library for Python you should just be using Jedi, it's doing all the work for you. I have recently released Jedi 0.9.0. This release marks a change in the way how Jedi is structured. In the past Jedi had one objective only: Autocompletion. Now Jedi is a general purpose, high quality static analysis engine. The static analysis capabilities are really good, but it's hard to describe what it does exactly. It's better than any other static analysis engine out there for sure. Jedi's parser is built on the lib2to3 and therefore is able to create a "round-trip" representation of source code. After parsing and modifications to the syntax tree, Jedi echos the exact same source tree with the changes included, which is neat for refactoring. The parser also has built-in error recovery as well as support for different Python versions (Python version is a param). Jedi has become quite powerful. If you're considering Jedi, I'm very happy to get you started. Let's talk! https://github.com/davidhalter/jedi/ ~ Dave

by Jarrad Hope May 3, 2015

Hey again Any ideas how can I get the docstring from a module or function? I was hoping to do something like ast.get_docstring(node.pytype()) Thanks, Jarrad
