Indeed, this works exactly as I would expect. The unexpected thing is the one described below.

I'm not sure if this is related, but the rcfile documentation for the "ignore" options says it can be specified multiple times:
# Add <file or directory> to the black list. It should be a base name, not a
# path. You may set this option multiple times.
However, if you specify it like this:
ignore=CVS
ignore=source.py
...only one of them takes effect (I forgot if it was the first or the last). To specify multiple ignores, they should be comma separated:
ignore=CVS,source.py
So it seems the pylint config data structure only accepts one instance of each key and others are lost. Maybe the same thing happens with multiple "disable-msg" definitions?
Bye,
