What is Pylint?
---------------
Pylint is a `static code analyser`_ for Python 2 or 3. The latest version supports Python
3.7.2 and above.
.. _`static code analyser`: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_code_analysis
Pylint analyses your code without actually running it. It checks for errors, enforces a
coding standard, looks for `code smells`_, and can make suggestions about how the code
could be refactored.
.. _`code smells`: https://martinfowler.com/bliki/CodeSmell.html
Install
-------
.. This is used inside the doc to recover the start of the short text for installation
For command line use, pylint is installed with::
pip install pylint
Or if you want to also check spelling with ``enchant`` (you might need to
`install the enchant C library <https://pyenchant.github.io/pyenchant/install.html#installing-the-enchant-c-library>`_):
.. code-block:: sh
pip install pylint[spelling]
It can also be integrated in most editors or IDEs. More information can be found
`in the documentation`_.

What differentiate Pylint?
--------------------------
Pylint is not trusting your typing and is inferring the actual value of nodes (for a
start because there was no typing when pylint started off) using its internal code
representation (astroid). If your code is ``import logging as argparse``, Pylint
can check and know that ``argparse.error(...)`` is in fact a logging call and not an
argparse call. This makes pylint slower, but it also let pylint find more issues if
your code is not fully typed.
[inference] is the killer feature that keeps us using [pylint] in our project despite how painfully slow it is.
- `Realist pylint user`_, 2022
.. _`Realist pylint user`: https://github.com/charliermarsh/ruff/issues/970#issuecomment-1381067064
pylint, not afraid of being a little slower than it already is, is also a lot more thorough than other linters.
There is more checks, some opinionated one that are deactivated by default, but can be enabled using configuration.
How to use pylint
-----------------
Pylint isn't smarter than you: it may warn you about things that you have
conscientiously done or check for some things that you don't care about.
During adoption, especially in a legacy project where pylint was never enforced,
it's best to start with the ``--errors-only`` flag, then disable
convention and refactor message with ``--disable=C,R`` and progressively
re-evaluate and re-enable messages as your priorities evolve.
Pylint is highly configurable and permits to write plugins in order to add your
own checks (for example, for internal libraries or an internal rule). Pylint also has an
ecosystem of existing plugins for popular frameworks and third party libraries.
.. note::
Pylint supports the Python standard library out of the box. Third-party
libraries are not always supported, so a plugin might be needed. A good place
to start is ``PyPI`` which often returns a plugin by searching for
``pylint <library>``. `pylint-pydantic`_, `pylint-django`_ and
`pylint-sonarjson`_ are examples of such plugins. More information about plugins
and how to load them can be found at `plugins`_.
.. _`plugins`: https://pylint.readthedocs.io/en/latest/development_guide/how_tos/plugins.html#plugins
.. _`pylint-pydantic`: https://pypi.org/project/pylint-pydantic

Advised linters alongside pylint
--------------------------------
Projects that you might want to use alongside pylint include ruff_ (**really** fast,
with builtin auto-fix, and a growing number of checks taken from popular
linters but implemented in ``rust``) or flake8_ (faster and simpler checks with very few false positives),
mypy_, pyright_ or pyre_ (typing checks), bandit_ (security oriented checks), black_ and
isort_ (auto-formatting), autoflake_ (automated removal of unused imports or variables),
pyupgrade_ (automated upgrade to newer python syntax) and pydocstringformatter_ (automated pep257).

Additional tools included in pylint
-----------------------------------
Pylint ships with two additional tools:
- pyreverse_ (standalone tool that generates package and class diagrams.)
- symilar_ (duplicate code finder that is also integrated in pylint)
