Email [Python-projects] pylint 0.9.2 problem with config file parsing

Dear Pylint developers,
I just did a first test with pylint 0.9.2 and had the following problem:

In the lint.py module, line 273, method set_option
the following statements try to parse a comma separated list of Messages, e.g. C0301,W0706,W0103
and fails because it takes 'C' instead of C0301 as the first item:
                for _id in value:
                    meth(_id)

I replaced this with
                values = value.split(',')     ##
                for _id in values:             ##
                    meth(_id)
and everything worked fine.

Is value a string or what should be the magic behind this?

Best Regards / Mit freundlichen Grüßen
