Hi,
When we updated to pylint 1.1 many of the messages changed. In
particular, the invalid-name (C0103) message used to say:
... Invalid name "Test_which" for type class (should match
[A-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9]+$)
which was really useful, since (if you understand regular expressions)
it tells the user exactly what the name pattern should be. Now, however,
it only says:
... Invalid class name "Test_which"
This is less than useful, since as a user I might not know where to go
to find out what the RE is that was matched against. The messages
generated by --list-msgs only shows the general message:
:invalid-name (C0103): *Invalid %s name "%s"*
Used when the name doesn't match the regular expression associated to
its type
(constant, variable, class...).
which doesn't help.
The default REs show up in the --long-help output, but a user has to run
that manually, then look for the option which affects the particular
message he is seeing.
Is there a way simple way to get the REs on the generated html pages again?
