Uh.... that would be the tab labeled "Issues" > I am seeing a "W0212: Access to a protected member %s of a client class" > regarding my use of "sys._getframe()". How can this be a warning if the > Python documentation lists this as a method to use in their documentation? It's a warning because the method name starts with an underscore, which by convention means it's intended for internal use. Further, the documentation of _getframe reinforces this, pointing out it should be used "for internal and specialized purposes only". If you've decided you know what you're doing, you can always quiet individual complaints from pylint, you don't have to accept every single thing it complains about. > I am also getting an "E0602: Undefined variable %r" when I use > __cached__.

If you're going to test (access?) something that may be undefined, you need to do so in a manner that lets your program survive in case it's undefined. That typically means using a try block or hasattr(). _______________________________________________ code-quality mailing list -- code-quality@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to code-quality-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/code-quality.python.org/ Member address: arch...@mail-archive.com
