Other Changes
|
|
|
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* `try-except-raise` check was demoted from an error to a warning, as part of issue #2323.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Correctly handle the new name of the Python implementation of the `abc` module.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In Python 3.7, the `abc` module has both a C implementation as well as a Python one,
|
|
|
|
|
but the Python implementation has a different file name that what ``pylint`` was expecting,
|
|
|
|
|
resulting in some checks getting confused.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Modules with ``__getattr__`` are exempted by default from ``no-member``
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There's no easy way to figure out if a module has a particular member when
|
|
|
|
|
the said module uses ``__getattr__``, which is a new addition to Python 3.7.
|
|
|
|
|
Instead we assume the safe thing to do, in the same way we do for classes,
|
|
|
|
|
and skip those modules from checking.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* ``invalid name`` is no longer triggered for function and attribute names longer
|
|
|
|
|
than 30 characters. The upper limit was removed completely.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
* Fix false-positive ``undefined-variable`` for self referential class name in lamdbas
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
* ``no-else-return`` also specifies the type of the branch that is causing the error.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Fixed inconsistent behaviour for bad-continuation on first line of file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Fixed a bug where ``pylint`` was not able to disable certain messages on the last line through
|
|
|
|
|
the global disable option.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* ``pylint`` no longer emits `useless-return` when it finds a single statement that is the ``return`` itself
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We still want to be explicit when a function is supposed to return
|
|
|
|
|
an optional value; even though ``pass`` could still work, it's not explicit
|
|
|
|
|
enough and the function might look like it's missing an implementation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Fixed a bug where ``pylint`` was crashing when being unable to infer the value of an argument to `next()`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* ``pylint`` no longer emit ``not-an-iterable`` when dealing with async iterators.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* ``pylint`` gained the ability to specify a default docstring type for when the check cannot guess the type
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For this we added a ``--default-docstring-type`` command line option.
