Pylint - bounswe/bounswe2020group1 GitHub Wiki

To create high-quality code as a team we decided to use Pylint as a guide. High-quality code means:

• It does what it is supposed to do.
• It does not contain defects or problems.
• It is easy to read, maintain, and extend.

Download Pylint

Mac OS X
pip install pylint

Windows
pip install pylint

Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install pylint

Run Pylint

pylint fileName.py

After running the program file with Pylint you will get a full report.
Check How to run Pylint for more running options!

An Example of the Report

• [R]efactor for a “good practice” metric violation
• [C]onvention for coding standard violation
• [W]arning for stylistic problems, or minor programming issues
• [E]rror for important programming issues (i.e. most probably bug)
• [F]atal for errors which prevented further processing
