thanks for reply. I am actually looking for an option to not create any files (even temporary) at all. Is there still an option to use pylint on a string?
Now that I'm not responding from my phone, I could more easily poke around the docs and code. Looking at the code, I see nothing which obviously suggests there is a pylint API which accepts a string to be linted. The code in .../pylint/lint.py seems to be very strongly tied to operation on files from the command line. If you want to execute it programmatically, I think you're going to have to write your string to a file, construct a list of strings which mimics sys.argv[1:], then execute from pylint.lint import Run Run(args) and clean up with its finished.
