linter-pylint

This package will lint your opened Python-files in Atom, using pylint.

Installation

1. Install pylint.
2. $ apm install linter-pylint

Configuration

• Executable Path to your pylint executable. This is useful if you have different versions of pylint for Python 2 and 3 or if you are using a virtualenv. Use %p for the current project (no trailing /).
• Message Format Format for Pylint messages where %m is the message, %i is the numeric message ID (e.g. W0613) and %s is the human-readable message ID (e.g. unused-argument).
• Python Path Paths to be added to the PYTHONPATH environment variable. Use %p for the current project directory (e.g. %p/vendor) or %f for the directory of the current file location.
• Rc File Path to pylintrc file. Use %p for the current project directory or %f for the directory of the current file location.
• Working Directory Directory pylint is run from. Use %p for the current project directory or %f for the directory of the current file.
• %p will fallback to the current file's directory (equivilent to %f) if no project directory can be determined.
