latest releases: v3.3.1, v3.3.0, v3.2.7...
2 years ago
  • Add missing dunder methods to unexpected-special-method-signature check.

  • No longer emit no-member in for loops that reference self if the binary operation that
    started the for loop uses a self that is encapsulated in tuples or lists.

    Ref PyCQA/astroid#1360
    Closes #4826

  • Output better error message if unsupported file formats are used with pyreverse.

    Closes #5950

  • Fix pyreverse diagrams type hinting for classmethods and staticmethods.

  • Fix pyreverse diagrams type hinting for methods returning None.

  • Fix matching --notes options that end in a non-word character.

    Closes #5840

  • Updated the position of messages for class and function defintions to no longer cover
    the complete definition. Only the def or class + the name of the class/function
    are covered.

    Closes #5466

  • using-f-string-in-unsupported-version and using-final-decorator-in-unsupported-version msgids
    were renamed from W1601 and W1602 to W2601 and W2602. Disabling using these msgids will break.
    This is done in order to restore consistency with the already existing msgids for apply-builtin and
    basestring-builtin from the now deleted python 3K+ checker. There is now a check that we're not using
    existing msgids or symbols from deleted checkers.

    Closes #5729

  • The line numbering for messages related to function arguments is now more accurate. This can
    require some message disables to be relocated to updated positions.

  • Add --recursive option to allow recursive discovery of all modules and packages in subtree. Running pylint with
    --recursive=y option will check all discovered .py files and packages found inside subtree of directory provided
    as parameter to pylint.

    Closes #352

  • Add modified-iterating-list, modified-iterating-dict and modified-iterating-set,
    emitted when items are added to or removed from respectively a list, dictionary or
    set being iterated through.

    Closes #5348

  • Fix false-negative for assignment-from-none checker using list.sort() method.

    closes #5722

  • New extension import-private-name: indicate imports of external private packages
    and objects (prefixed with _). It can be loaded using load-plugins=pylint.extensions.private_import.

    Closes #5463

  • Fixed crash from arguments-differ and arguments-renamed when methods were
    defined outside the top level of a class.

    Closes #5648

  • Removed the deprecated check_docs extension. You can use the docparams checker
    to get the checks previously included in check_docs.

    Closes #5322

  • Added a testutil extra require to the packaging, as gitpython should not be a dependency
    all the time but is still required to use the primer helper code in pylint.testutil. You can
    install it with pip install pylint[testutil].

    Closes #5486

  • Reinstated checks from the python3 checker that are still useful for python 3
    (eq-without-hash). This is now in the pylint.extensions.eq_without_hash optional
    extension.

    Closes #5025

  • Fixed an issue where ungrouped-imports could not be disabled without raising
    useless-suppression.

    Ref #2366

  • Added several checkers to deal with unicode security issues
    (see Trojan Sources <https://trojansource.codes/>_ and
    PEP 672 <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0672/>_ for details) that also
    concern the readability of the code. In detail the following checks were added:

    • bad-file-encoding checks that the file is encoded in UTF-8 as suggested by
      PEP8 <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#id20>.
      UTF-16 and UTF-32 are not supported by Python <https://bugs.python.org/issue1503789>

      at the moment. If this ever changes
      invalid-unicode-codec checks that they aren't used, to allow for backwards
      compatibility.

    • bidirectional-unicode checks for bidirectional unicode characters that
      could make code execution different than what the user expects.

    • invalid-character-backspace, invalid-character-carriage-return,
      invalid-character-sub, invalid-character-esc,
      invalid-character-zero-width-space and invalid-character-nul
      to check for possibly harmful unescaped characters.

    Closes #5281

  • Use the tomli package instead of toml to parse .toml files.

Closes #5885

  • Fix false positive - Allow unpacking of self in a subclass of typing.NamedTuple.

Closes #5312

  • Fixed false negative unpacking-non-sequence when value is an empty list.

Closes #5707

  • Better warning messages for useless else or elif when a function returns early.

    Closes #5614

  • Fixed false positive consider-using-dict-comprehension when creating a dict
    using a list of tuples where key AND value vary depending on the same condition.

    Closes #5588

  • Fixed false positive for global-variable-undefined when global is used with a class name

    Closes #3088

  • Fixed false positive for unused-variable when a nonlocal name is assigned as part of a multi-name assignment.

    Closes #3781

  • Fixed a crash in unspecified-encoding checker when providing None
    to the mode argument of an open() call.

    Closes #5731

  • Fixed a crash involving a NewType named with an f-string.

    Closes #5770
    Ref PyCQA/astroid#1400

  • Improved bad-open-mode message when providing None to the mode
    argument of an open() call.

    Closes #5733

  • Added lru-cache-decorating-method checker with checks for the use of functools.lru_cache
    on class methods. This is unrecommended as it creates memory leaks by never letting the instance
    getting garbage collected.

    Closes #5670

  • Fixed crash with recursion error for inference of class attributes that referenced
    the class itself.

    Closes #5408
    Ref PyCQA/astroid#1392

  • Fixed false positive for unused-argument when a method overridden in a subclass
    does nothing with the value of a keyword-only argument.

    Closes #5771
    Ref PyCQA/astroid#1382

  • The issue template for crashes is now created for crashes which were previously not covered
    by this mechanism.

    Closes #5668

  • Rewrote checker for non-ascii-name.
    It now ensures all Python names are ASCII and also properly
    checks the names of imports (non-ascii-module-import) as
    well as file names (non-ascii-file-name) and emits their respective new warnings.

    Non ASCII characters could be homoglyphs (look alike characters) and hard to
    enter on a non specialized keyboard.
    See Confusable Characters in PEP 672 <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0672/#confusable-characters-in-identifiers>_

  • When run in parallel mode pylint now pickles the data passed to subprocesses with
    the dill package. The dill package has therefore been added as a dependency.

  • An astroid issue where symlinks were not being taken into account
    was fixed

    Closes #1470
    Closes #3499
    Closes #4302
    Closes #4798
    Closes #5081

  • Fix a crash in unused-private-member checker when analyzing code using
    type(self) in bound methods.

    Closes #5569

  • Optimize parsing of long lines when missing-final-newline is enabled.

    Closes #5724

  • Fix false positives for used-before-assignment from using named
    expressions in a ternary operator test and using that expression as
    a call argument.

    Closes #5177, #5212

  • Fix false positive for undefined-variable when namedtuple class
    attributes are used as return annotations.

    Closes #5568

  • Fix false negative for undefined-variable and related variable messages
    when the same undefined variable is used as a type annotation and is
    accessed multiple times, or is used as a default argument to a function.

    Closes #5399

  • Pyreverse - add output in mermaidjs format

  • Emit used-before-assignment instead of undefined-variable when attempting
    to access unused type annotations.

    Closes #5713

  • Added confidence level CONTROL_FLOW for warnings relying on assumptions
    about control flow.

  • used-before-assignment now considers that assignments in a try block
    may not have occurred when the except or finally blocks are executed.

    Closes #85, #2615

  • Fixed false negative for used-before-assignment when a conditional
    or context manager intervened before the try statement that suggested
    it might fail.

    Closes #4045

  • Fixed false negative for used-before-assignment in finally blocks
    if an except handler did not define the assignment that might have failed
    in the try block.

  • Fixed extremely long processing of long lines with comma's.

    Closes #5483

  • Fixed crash on properties and inherited class methods when comparing them for
    equality against an empty dict.

    Closes #5646

  • Fixed a false positive for assigning-non-slot when the slotted class
    defined __setattr__.

    Closes #3793

  • Fixed a false positive for invalid-class-object when the object
    being assigned to the __class__ attribute is uninferable.

  • Fixed false positive for used-before-assignment with self-referential type
    annotation in conditional statements within class methods.

    Closes #5499

  • Add checker redefined-slots-in-subclass: Emitted when a slot is redefined in a subclass.

    Closes #5617

  • Fixed false positive for global-variable-not-assigned when the del statement is used

    Closes #5333

  • By default, pylint does no longer take files starting with .# into account. Those are
    considered emacs file locks. See
    https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/File-Locks.html.
    This behavior can be reverted by redefining the ignore-patterns option.

    Closes #367

  • Fixed a false positive for used-before-assignment when a named expression
    appears as the first value in a container.

    Closes #5112

  • used-before-assignment now assumes that assignments in except blocks
    may not have occurred and warns accordingly.

    Closes #4761

  • When evaluating statements after an except block, used-before-assignment
    assumes that assignments in the except blocks took place if the
    corresponding try block contained a return statement.

    Closes #5500

  • Fixed a false negative for used-before-assignment when some but not all
    except handlers defined a name relied upon after an except block when the
    corresponding try block contained a return statement.

    Closes #5524

  • When evaluating statements in the else clause of a loop, used-before-assignment
    assumes that assignments in the except blocks took place if the
    except handlers constituted the only ways for the loop to finish without
    breaking early.

    Closes #5683

  • used-before-assignment now checks names in try blocks.

  • Fixed false positive with used-before-assignment for assignment expressions
    in lambda statements.

    Closes #5360, #3877

  • Fixed a false positive (affecting unreleased development) for
    used-before-assignment involving homonyms between filtered comprehensions
    and assignments in except blocks.

    Closes #5586

  • Fixed crash with slots assignments and annotated assignments.

    Closes #5479

  • Fixed crash on list comprehensions that used type as inner variable name.

    Closes #5461

  • Fixed crash in use-maxsplit-arg checker when providing the sep argument
    to str.split() by keyword.

    Closes #5737

  • Fix false positive for unused-variable for a comprehension variable matching
    an outer scope type annotation.

    Closes #5326

  • Fix false negative for undefined-variable for a variable used multiple times
    in a comprehension matching an unused outer scope type annotation.

    Closes #5654

  • Some files in pylint.testutils were deprecated. In the future imports should be done from the
    pylint.testutils.functional namespace directly.

  • Fixed false positives for no-value-for-parameter with variadic
    positional arguments.

    Closes #5416

  • safe_infer no longer makes an inference when given two function
    definitions with differing numbers of arguments.

    Closes #3675

  • Fix comparison-with-callable false positive for callables that raise, such
    as typing constants.

    Closes #5557

  • Fixed a crash on __init__ nodes when the attribute was previously uninferable due to a cache
    limit size. This limit can be hit when the inheritance pattern of a class (and therefore of the __init__ attribute) is very large.

    Closes #5679

  • Fix false positive for used-before-assignment from a class definition
    nested under a function subclassing a class defined outside the function.

    Closes #4590

  • Fix unnecessary_dict_index_lookup false positive when deleting a dictionary's entry.

    Closes #4716

  • Fix false positive for used-before-assignment when an except handler
    shares a name with a test in a filtered comprehension.

    Closes #5817

  • Fix crash in unnecessary-dict-index-lookup checker if the output of
    items() is assigned to a 1-tuple.

    Closes #5504

  • When invoking pylint, epylint, symilar or pyreverse by importing them in a python file
    you can now pass an argv keyword besides patching sys.argv.

    Closes #5320

    Partially closes #1730

  • Emit redefined-outer-name when a nested except handler shadows an outer one.

    Closes #4434
    Closes #5370

  • Fix false positive super-init-not-called for classes that inherit their init from
    a parent.

    Closes #4941

  • encoding can now be supplied as a positional argument to calls that open
    files without triggering unspecified-encoding.

    Closes #5638

  • Fatal errors now emit a score of 0.0 regardless of whether the linted module
    contained any statements

    Closes #5451

  • fatal was added to the variables permitted in score evaluation expressions.

  • The default score evaluation now uses a floor of 0.

    Closes #2399

  • Fix false negative for consider-iterating-dictionary during membership checks encapsulated in iterables
    or not in checks

    Closes #5323

  • Fixed crash on uninferable decorators on Python 3.6 and 3.7

  • Add checker unnecessary-ellipsis: Emitted when the ellipsis constant is used unnecessarily.

    Closes #5460

  • Disable checker bad-docstring-quotes for Python <= 3.7, because in these versions the line
    numbers for decorated functions and classes are not reliable which interferes with the checker.

    Closes #3077

  • Fixed incorrect classification of Numpy-style docstring as Google-style docstring for
    docstrings with property setter documentation.
    Docstring classification is now based on the highest amount of matched sections instead
    of the order in which the docstring styles were tried.

  • Fixed detection of arguments-differ when superclass static
    methods lacked a @staticmethod decorator.

    Closes #5371

  • TypingChecker

  • The testutils for unittests now accept end_lineno and end_column. Tests
    without these will trigger a DeprecationWarning.

  • arguments-differ will no longer complain about method redefinitions with extra parameters
    that have default values.

    Closes #1556, #5338

  • Fixed false positive unexpected-keyword-arg for decorators.

    Closes #258

  • Importing the deprecated stdlib module xml.etree.cElementTree now emits deprecated_module.

    Closes #5862

  • Disables for deprecated-module and similar warnings for stdlib features deprecated
    in newer versions of Python no longer raise useless-suppression when linting with
    older Python interpreters where those features are not yet deprecated.

  • Importing the deprecated stdlib module distutils now emits deprecated_module on Python 3.10+.

  • missing-raises-doc will now check the class hierarchy of the raised exceptions

    .. code-block:: python

    def my_function()
    """My function.

    Raises:
      Exception: if something fails
    """
    raise ValueError
    

    Closes #4955

  • Allow disabling duplicate-code with a disable comment when running through
    pylint.

    Closes #214

  • Improve invalid-name check for TypeVar names.
    The accepted pattern can be customized with --typevar-rgx.

    Closes #3401

  • Added new checker typevar-name-missing-variance. Emitted when a covariant
    or contravariant TypeVar does not end with _co or _contra respectively or
    when a TypeVar is not either but has a suffix.

  • Allow usage of mccabe 0.7.x release

    Closes #5878
