Hey all, I have a rather large codebase in which I'm using PyLint. I am using a number of data-serialization classes (Google Protocol Buffers) that use metaclasses to fill out the fields. Of course, PyLint doesn't understand metaclasses, so I am unable to have PyLint's typechecker work on these classes.
However, the problem is that these class names are not unique in my code base. There's a number of classes that share the same name (though not the same import path), but I can't figure out how to get PyLint to disable a specific class as opposed to all classes with the same name. How do I do this? Things I've tried: 1) using a class more specific import name: (ignored-classes=module.module.Class). For some reason this doesn't work for me. I can only seem to get this to work if I use ignored-classes=Class. Should this work? What am I doing wrong? 2) using the generated classes' base class (ignored-classes=Message, ignored-classes=message.Message, ignored-classes=google.protobuf.message.Message). Should this work? This would be a pretty swanky solution. 3) adding pylint disabling comments to the specific protocol buffer message definitions. This doesn't help callers of methods on a message in some other file though. :( Last resort: I could name all protocol buffer classes uniquely. This is a really gross solution for us as it would require a lot of code churn. Is there something I am missing? What should I do for this case? -JT _______________________________________________ Python-Projects mailing list Python-Projects@lists.logilab.org http://lists.logilab.org/mailman/listinfo/python-projects
