For quite some time, since the very first 'Forget the past' commit I have access to, pylint had the ability of providing additional reports, such as Global evaluation, Messages by category, Statistics by type etc. For those of you who are unfamiliar with them, they look like this http://paste.openstack.org/show/421040/ pylint provides an easy way to disable them, by using the --reports flag, as in `--reports=y|n`.
After using pylint for some time, they're started to feel useless for me and I'm always disabling them when running pylint.
Likewise. They are always the first thing I disable when setting up a pylint.rc file, and I am perpetually annoyed when I forget to include "-r n" when pylinting a one-off script via terminal.
This. :)
Would it cause problems for you?
I guess removing the command-line option could break some build scripts, but the fix would be trivial and removing it would still definitely be a net win for me.
Hopefully the deprecation would help with that - other than that, it might make sense to keep -r/--reports as valid but ignore it?
Are these reports in any sense useful for you?
As discussed in IRC: For a non-trivial project they're long[1] and you have to search the actual output in that mess. I use the "lines of code" feature from time to time, but I'm sure I can find another tool which does this for me.
