Public bug reported:
Look at the man page for pylint, specifically the environmental
variables option, which reads as follows.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The following environment variables are used :
* PYLINTHOME
path to the directory where data of persistent run will be stored.
If not found, it defaults to
~/.pylint.d/ or .pylint.d (in the current working directory)
. The current PYLINTHOME is
/home/syt/.pylint.d.
* PYLINTRC
path to the configuration file. If not found, it will use the first
existant file in ~/.pylintrc,
/etc/pylintrc. The current PYLINTRC is None.
It refers to the PYLINTHOME as /home/syt/.pylint.d, which is not a
directory on my computer. I assume it's the authors home directory. If
the man page can't figure out the PYLINTHOME directory, then it
shouldn't include that sentance in the man page
$ dpkg -l | grep pylint
ii pylint 0.14.0-2.1
