See http://flexget.com/browser/trunk/pylint.rc?rev=475 for an example. So, for a section from pylint --help like so: Miscellaneous: --notes=comma separated values List of note tags to take in consideration, separated by a comma. [current: FIXME,XXX,TODO] You would make a configuration item like so: [MISCELLANEOUS] notes=FIXME,TODO This is a fairly common thing for command-line app configurations. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

For bonus points, I'm actually wanting to know how to configure it per *project*, and applying that configuration for all programmers of that project. Having one set of coding conventions per *user* seem like a recipe for frustration. -- \ “Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?” “I think so, | `\ Brain, but culottes have a tendency to ride up so.” —_Pinky and | _o__) The Brain_ | Ben Finney -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Having one set of coding conventions per *user* seem like a recipe for frustration. I find that the comments in the file it generates are enough. I haven't needed any more documentation than that. For project specific configuration I just keep a config file[1] in the project's source repository. Then make my build script[2] specify that file when I run 'paver lint'.

I'll take that as a data point in support of “there is no documentation for pylint except the configuration file itself”.
