This warning seems specious: __init__.py:1: [C0111] Missing module docstring especially since __init__.py is often empty (as it is in this case), being used only as a marker that a directory is actually a package. This is in Python 2.7. I'm doing nothing to override the docstring_min_length config parameter, so if my reading of DocStringChecker._check_docstring is correct, this message should not be emitted for any zero-length module. I can't tell where/how self.config.docstring_min_length is initialized (find+grep doesn't return many hits), so can't tell what its value is, either. (Well, not without inserting a print statement.) What am I missing here? Skip
