Thanks James! From what I recall, one thing that tripped me up is that pytest is never mentioned in the docs for writing a checker/plugin, despite being required by the Pylint test framework. But mostly it was the lack of examples for how to set everything up beyond what's mentioned in the docs.
A clean boilerplate for pylint plugin development would have come super handy, because pylint-django does things quite differently.
