PyLint 0.25.2 and related projects released

2012/07/18 by Sylvain Thenault

I'm pleased to announce the new release of Pylint and related projects (i.e. logilab-astng and logilab-common)!

By installing PyLint 0.25.2, ASTNG 0.24 and logilab-common 0.58.1, you'll get a bunch of bug fixes and a few new features. Among the hot stuff:

PyLint should now work with alternative python implementations such as Jython, and at least go further with PyPy and IronPython (but those have not really been tested, please try it and provide feedback so we can improve their support)
the new ASTNG includes a description of dynamic code it is not able to understand. This is handled by a bitbucket hosted project described in another post.

Many thanks to everyone who contributed to these releases, Torsten Marek / Boris Feld in particular (both sponsored by Google by the way, Torsten as an employee and Boris as a GSoC student).

Enjoy!

I'm getting Unused variable: ind:
```
for ind in indicators:
    del ind.value
```
Is it OK?

  No, I can't reproduce the bug, could you fill a bug report with more details please?

    Hmm, really. I'm using pydev with pylint and see this error. Was sure that's pylint failure, but now I think that's something with integration of pydev. Sorry for disturbing.

      If you can, send me a link to your project at lothiraldan [AT] gmail.com and I will test on my computer.

And it still does not pip install due to the "unknown encoding: IBO-8859-1" bug. See http://www.logilab.org/82417

  It should be fixed now, you will need to wait for next release of pylint.

The following is not getting flagged by pylint - would expect it to be flagged with warning W0621 - Redefining name 'x' from outer scope.

def appendToX():
x.append(45)

if __name__ == '__main__':
x = [34, 45]
appendToX()
print x

But the following two cases do get flagged by pylint, but they aren't as serious as the case above (W0621: 1,12:modifyX: Redefining name 'x' from outer scope)
def modifyX(x):
x = [1,2]

def changeX():
x = [5,6]

if __name__ == '__main__':
x = [34, 45]
modifyX(x)
changeX()
print x
