Hello Claudiu,
Also forgot to mention that we have plans to add support of linting Python 2 files while the running interpreter is Python 3 but we didn't have enough time before release to implement that: https://github.com/PyCQA/pylint/issues/2070. Once we have that feature, you can just have pylint 2.X installed and run it for both Python 2 and 3 linting.
That's great, thanks for going there. Subscribed to the issue. That will solve all the problems for me. I hope somebody tackles it. But just to be clear. I totally get it if it were not to happen.
For Nuitka I have chosen to run with the language version that I compile, so run time computations need not be abstracted. One idea I had was to have a slave Python interpreter on the target OS, target Python version, that does part of the work, e.g. "1+2L", while also caching results. So far, this has proven too crazy, but would enable cross compilation maybe.
Not sure how much compile time computations PyLint does. I assume it is quite a lot.
Yours, Kay
