pylint scoping question

[Karsten Hilbert]

Dear readers,

I have a pylint scoping (or how-to) question.

	pylint 2.7.2
	astroid 2.5.1
	Python 3.9.2 (default, Feb 28 2021, 17:03:44)

Objective:

to disable all pylint errors/warnings starting from a
particular source line until EOF (that part contains
to-be-run-manually scratch/test code for that file)

As an MWE consider this code:

#-----------------------------------------------
usr/bin/python3
"""MWE"""

print(does_not_exist_1)
# Xpylint: disable=undefined-variable
# Xpylint: disable=all
print(does_not_exist_2)
print(does_not_exist_3)
#-----------------------------------------------

Pylint docs say that disables are per-scope. Thusly a

	# pylint: disable=undefined-variable

inside the file-global scope should (?) disable
undefined-variable for the entire (?) file-global scope.

It does not, however, but rather seems to disable it inside
the file-global scope *from the line of occurrence onwards*.
To see this, remove the X from the relevant disable in the
MWE. This is the behaviour I desire to achieve.

However, when using the "disable=all" it *does* disable all
output, including the

	x.py:4:6: E0602: Undefined variable 'does_not_exist_1' (undefined-variable)

despite the

	# pylint: disable=all

sitting *after* the

	print(does_not_exist_1)

So:

Am I doing something wrong ?

Am I misinterpreting the docs ?

Do the docs explain this difference in disable-scoping ?

How should I properly go about my objective (apart from
fixing my code, of course :-D ) ?

Thanks for insights,
Karsten
