pylint #108156 pylint crashes with MissingSectionHeaderError [rejected]

Hi everyone,

when i start pylint to check my code i get the following output:

> pylint Test.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/pylint", line 4, in <module>
lint.Run(sys.argv[1:])
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pylint/lint.py", line 839, in __init__

raise MissingSectionHeaderError(fpname, lineno, line)
ConfigParser.MissingSectionHeaderError: File contains no section headers.
file: /home/akki/.pylintrc, line: 1
'ignored-classes=SQLObject,_socketobject'

Environment:
- Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop
- python 2.7
- pylint from ubuntu-Repos

Can anybody tell me how to fix this.

Thank you very much

Regards

Akki

    This comes from a syntax error in your .pylintrc file. It should read:

    [TYPECHECK]
ignored-classes=SQLObject,_socketobject

    Try pylint --generate-rcfile > sample_pylintrc to get a well formed one which you can edit at will.
