I originally wrote pylint-gui for windows users (hence the use of tkinter). That was a looong time ago. Nowadays, pylint is integrated in various IDEs making it much easier to use on a non CLI-based OS. > I have been tinkering with it for the past couple of days trying to figure > out how difficult it would be improve.

Please feel free. I've been toying with the idea myself, but never got to actually coding this. You'll find that the option management in Pylint should play quite nicely with automated gui generation (as this is used to automatically generate the pylintrc file). > I realize this is not a ticket, but would this be useful? I think a gui could greatly simplify Pylint's usage if only by providing filtering options and therefore enabling easy search for some errors without requiring a rerun which can take up time on a big project. -- Alexandre Fayolle LOGILAB, Paris (France) Formations Python, CubicWeb, Debian : http://www.logilab.fr/formations Développement logiciel sur mesure : http://www.logilab.fr/services Informatique scientifique: http://www.logilab.fr/science _______________________________________________ Python-Projects mailing list Python-Projects@lists.logilab.org http://lists.logilab.org/mailman/listinfo/python-projects
