I've since dug into the docs and searched on the web and found that --reports=n on the command line will truncate the various tables output at the end.

Hi David, David Stanek wrote: It is my understanding that it does check for PEP8 names. Even if it doesn't it is really easy to change. If you run 'pylint --generate-rcfile' (i think) it will output the configuration that it is using. You can then save this off and customize it. Thanks, I'll see if I can customize it this way. I looked at it once briefly. I'll try to come up with a nice short code example in the next few days to demonstrate what I think the problem is and post it, thanks for the suggestion. If you didn't have an example handy what prompted you to start this thread? :-) I have had number of examples, but they are rather long, so I think it will be better if I can provide a short example with the (rather lengthy pylint) output that shows the problem. I thought lots of people are using pylint and I would hear one way or the other about the name checks (ie people agreeing or telling me I'm way off :) .. in which case perhaps my recollection/reading of PEP 8 is not accurate.

I'm going to go back and re-read PEP 8 and see if I perhaps don't recall the right guidelines since no one else here seems to have had the same observation.

It's hard to know, without examples. Can you give some output of pylint that you think doesn't agree with PEP 8? Sure, I will next time I have a nice self-contained example.
