(I apologize in advance if this is a faq, but I have searched and didn't find it.)
Some people on my work project have complained that pylint suppressions are hard in code review, because they don't remember the meaning of all of the numbers. It seems to me that it would be nice if it was possible to use short symbolic names instead, similar to gcc warnings, like Wunused-imports or Wunreachable. Obviously there would still be times when you want a comment or discussion of _why_ the warning is suppressed or whether there is a better alternative, but sometimes just knowing the meaning would be enough. If I sent a patch that added names alongside the numbers, would that be accepted? Specifically I propose either would be accepted in suppression comments, and there would be an option to choose between them in the output. The default could remain the same. -- Martin _______________________________________________ Python-Projects mailing list Python-Projects@lists.logilab.org http://lists.logilab.org/mailman/listinfo/python-projects
