v2.15.2

Compare Source

  • Fixed a case where custom plugins specified by command line could silently fail.

    Specifically, if a plugin relies on the init-hook option changing sys.path before it can be imported, this will now emit a bad-plugin-value message. Before this change, it would silently fail to register the plugin for use, but would load any configuration, which could have unintended effects.

    Fixes part of #​7264.

  • Fix used-before-assignment for functions/classes defined in type checking guard.

    Closes #​7368

  • Update modified_iterating checker to fix a crash with for loops on empty list.

    Closes #​7380

  • The docparams extension now considers typing in Numpy style docstrings as "documentation" for the missing-param-doc message.

    Refs #​7398

  • Fix false positive for unused-variable and unused-import when a name is only used in a string literal type annotation.

    Closes #​3299

  • Fix false positive for too-many-function-args when a function call is assigned to a class attribute inside the class where the function is defined.

    Closes #​6592

  • Fix used-before-assignment for functions/classes defined in type checking guard.

    Closes #​7368

  • Fix ignored files being linted when passed on stdin.

    Closes #​4354

  • missing-return-doc, missing-raises-doc and missing-yields-doc now respect the no-docstring-rgx option.

    Closes #​4743

  • Don't crash on OSError in config file discovery.

    Closes #​7169

  • disable-next is now correctly scoped to only the succeeding line.

    Closes #​7401

  • Update modified_iterating checker to fix a crash with for loops on empty list.

    Closes #​7380

v2.15.0

Compare Source

In pylint 2.15.0, we added a new check missing-timeout to warn of default timeout values that could cause a program to be hanging indefinitely.

We improved pylint's handling of namespace packages. More packages should be linted without resorting to using the --recursive=y option.

We still welcome any community effort to help review, integrate, and add good/bad examples to the doc for https://github.com/PyCQA/pylint/issues/5953. This should be doable without any pylint or astroid knowledge, so this is the perfect entrypoint if you want to contribute to pylint or open source without any experience with our code!

Internally, we changed the way we generate the release notes, thanks to DudeNr33. There will be no more conflict resolution to do in the changelog, and every contributor rejoice.

Marc Byrne became a maintainer, welcome to the team !
