What's new in Pylint 2.15.5?

Release date: 2022-10-21

False Positives Fixed

• Fix a false positive for simplify-boolean-expression when multiple values
  are inferred for a constant.

  Closes #7626

Other Bug Fixes

• Remove __index__ dunder method call from unnecessary-dunder-call
  check.

  Closes #6795

• Fixed a multi-processing crash that prevents using any more than 1 thread on
  MacOS.

  The returned module objects and errors that were cached by the linter plugin loader cannot be reliably pickled. This means that dill would throw an error when attempting to serialise the linter object for multi-processing use.

  Closes #7635.

Other Changes

• Add a keyword-only compare_constants argument to safe_infer.

  Refs #7626

• Sort --generated-rcfile output.
