cclauss commented on issue #8270: 43 Undefined names in Python code URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/issues/8270#issuecomment-407891316 flake8 will find _undefined names_ that pylint will not because flake8 makes an abstract syntax tree for each Python file and plyint does not. This also explains why flake8 gives different results in Python 2 and Python 3 (the have different ASTs while pylint does not. Take running code like __isinstance(unicode('Hello'), basestring)__ through pylint on Python 2 and Python 3 and see if there are differences in the output. Now try same with flake8.
