Readable pylint messages

Goal of the repo is to prepare and present README with list of messages. Prepared with pylint --list-msgs for pylint v2.2.2

blacklisted-name

C0102 - Black listed name "%s"

Used when the name is listed in the black list (unauthorized names).

invalid-name

C0103 - %s name "%s" doesn't conform to %s

Used when the name doesn't conform to naming rules associated to its type (constant, variable, class...).

missing-docstring

C0111 - Missing %s docstring

Used when a module, function, class or method has no docstring.Some special methods like init doesn't necessary require a docstring.

empty-docstring

C0112 - Empty %s docstring

Used when a module, function, class or method has an empty docstring (it would be too easy ;).

unneeded-not

C0113 - Consider changing "%s" to "%s"

Used when a boolean expression contains an unneeded negation.

singleton-comparison

C0121 - Comparison to %s should be %s

Used when an expression is compared to singleton values like True, False or None.

misplaced-comparison-constant

C0122 - Comparison should be %s

Used when the constant is placed on the left side of a comparison. It is usually clearer in intent to place it in the right hand side of the comparison.

unidiomatic-typecheck

C0123 - Using type() instead of isinstance() for a typecheck.

The idiomatic way to perform an explicit typecheck in Python is to use isinstance(x, Y) rather than type(x) == Y, type(x) is Y. Though there are unusual situations where these give different results.

consider-using-enumerate

C0200 - Consider using enumerate instead of iterating with range and len

Emitted when code that iterates with range and len is encountered. Such code can be simplified by using the enumerate builtin.

consider-iterating-dictionary

C0201 - Consider iterating the dictionary directly instead of calling .keys()

Used when using the syntax "raise ... from ...", where the exception context is not an exception, nor None.

misplaced-bare-raise

E0704 - The raise statement is not inside an except clause

Used when a bare raise is not used inside an except clause. This generates an error, since there are no active exceptions to be reraised.

Used when multiple consecutive isinstance calls can be merged into one.

too-many-nested-blocks

R1702 - Too many nested blocks (%s/%s)

Used when an if statement can be replaced with 'bool(test)'.

redefined-argument-from-local

R1704 - Redefining argument with the local name %r

Emitted when redundant pre-python 2.5 ternary syntax is used.

inconsistent-return-statements

useless-return

R1711 - Useless return at end of function or method

Emitted when a single "return" or "return None" statement is found at the end of function or method definition. This statement can safely be removed because Python will implicitly return None

consider-swap-variables

R1712 - Consider using tuple unpacking for swapping variables

You do not have to use a temporary variable in order to swap variables. Using "tuple unpacking" to directly swap variables makes the intention more clear.

consider-using-join

R1713 - Consider using str.join(sequence) for concatenating strings from an iterable

Using str.join(sequence) is faster, uses less memory and increases readability compared to for-loop iteration.

consider-using-in

R1714 - Consider merging these comparisons with "in" to %r

To check if a variable is equal to one of many values,combine the values into a tuple and check if the variable is contained "in" it instead of checking for equality against each of the values.This is faster and less verbose.

consider-using-get

R1715 - Consider using dict.get for getting values from a dict if a key is present or a default if not

Using the builtin dict.get for getting a value from a dictionary if a key is present or a default if not, is simpler and considered more idiomatic, although sometimes a bit slower

chained-comparison

R1716 - Simplify chained comparison between the operands

This message is emitted when pylint encounters boolean operation like"a < b and b < c", suggesting instead to refactor it to "a < b < c"

consider-using-dict-comprehension

R1717 - Consider using a dictionary comprehension

Although there is nothing syntactically wrong with this code, it is hard to read and can be simplified to a dict comprehension.Also it is faster since you don't need to create another transient list

consider-using-set-comprehension

R1718 - Consider using a set comprehension

Although there is nothing syntactically wrong with this code, it is hard to read and can be simplified to a set comprehension.Also it is faster since you don't need to create another transient list

simplifiable-if-expression

R1719 - The if expression can be replaced with %s

Used when an if expression can be replaced with 'bool(test)'.

unreachable

W0101 - Unreachable code

Used when there is some code behind a "return" or "raise" statement, which will never be accessed.

dangerous-default-value

W0102 - Dangerous default value %s as argument

Used when a mutable value as list or dictionary is detected in a default value for an argument.

pointless-statement

W0104 - Statement seems to have no effect

Used when a statement doesn't have (or at least seems to) any effect.

pointless-string-statement

W0105 - String statement has no effect

Used when a string is used as a statement (which of course has no effect). This is a particular case of W0104 with its own message so you can easily disable it if you're using those strings as documentation, instead of comments.

expression-not-assigned

W0106 - Expression "%s" is assigned to nothing

Used when an expression that is not a function call is assigned to nothing. Probably something else was intended.

unnecessary-pass

W0107 - Unnecessary pass statement

Used when a "pass" statement that can be avoided is encountered.

unnecessary-lambda

W0108 - Lambda may not be necessary

Used when the body of a lambda expression is a function call on the same argument list as the lambda itself; such lambda expressions are in all but a few cases replaceable with the function being called in the body of the lambda.

duplicate-key

W0109 - Duplicate key %r in dictionary

Used when a dictionary expression binds the same key multiple times.

assign-to-new-keyword

W0111 - Name %s will become a keyword in Python %s

Used when assignment will become invalid in future Python release due to introducing new keyword.

useless-else-on-loop

W0120 - Else clause on loop without a break statement

Loops should only have an else clause if they can exit early with a break statement, otherwise the statements under else should be on the same scope as the loop itself.

exec-used

W0122 - Use of exec

Used when you use the "exec" statement (function for Python 3), to discourage its usage. That doesn't mean you cannot use it !

eval-used

W0123 - Use of eval

Used when you use the "eval" function, to discourage its usage. Consider using ast.literal_eval for safely evaluating strings containing Python expressions from untrusted sources.

confusing-with-statement

W0124 - Following "as" with another context manager looks like a tuple.

Emitted when a with statement component returns multiple values and uses name binding with as only for a part of those values, as in with ctx() as a, b. This can be misleading, since it's not clear if the context manager returns a tuple or if the node without a name binding is another context manager.

using-constant-test

W0125 - Using a conditional statement with a constant value

Emitted when a conditional statement (If or ternary if) uses a constant value for its test. This might not be what the user intended to do.

comparison-with-callable

W0143 - Comparing against a callable, did you omit the parenthesis?

This message is emitted when pylint detects that a comparison with a callable was made, which might suggest that some parenthesis were omitted, resulting in potential unwanted behaviour.

lost-exception

W0150 - %s statement in finally block may swallow exception

Used when a break or a return statement is found inside the finally clause of a try...finally block: the exceptions raised in the try clause will be silently swallowed instead of being re-raised.

assert-on-tuple

W0199 - Assert called on a 2-uple. Did you mean 'assert x,y'?

A call of assert on a tuple will always evaluate to true if the tuple is not empty, and will always evaluate to false if it is.

W0201 - Attribute %r defined outside init

Used when an instance attribute is defined outside the init method.

bad-staticmethod-argument

Used whenever we can detect that an overridden method is useless, relying on super() delegation to do the same thing as another method from the MRO.

unnecessary-semicolon

W0301 - Unnecessary semicolon

Used when a statement is ended by a semi-colon (";"), which isn't necessary (that's python, not C ;).

bad-indentation

W0311 - Bad indentation. Found %s %s, expected %s

Used when there is an unbalanced tuple unpacking in assignment

cell-var-from-loop

Used when an except catches a type that was already caught by a previous handler.

try-except-raise

W0706 - The except handler raises immediately

Used when an except handler uses raise as its first or only operator. This is useless because it raises back the exception immediately. Remove the raise operator or the entire try-except-raise block!

binary-op-exception

W0711 - Exception to catch is the result of a binary "%s" operation

Used when the exception to catch is of the form "except A or B:". If intending to catch multiple, rewrite as "except (A, B):"

When defining a keyword argument before variable positional arguments, one can end up in having multiple values passed for the aforementioned parameter in case the method is called with keyword arguments.

logging-not-lazy

W1201 - Specify string format arguments as logging function parameters

Used when a logging statement has a call form of "logging.(format_string % (format_args...))". Such calls should leave string interpolation to the logging method itself and be written "logging.(format_string, format_args...)" so that the program may avoid incurring the cost of the interpolation in those cases in which no message will be logged. For more, see http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0282/.

logging-format-interpolation

String literals are implicitly concatenated in a literal iterable definition : maybe a comma is missing ?

bad-open-mode

W1501 - "%s" is not a valid mode for open.

Python supports: r, w, a[, x] modes with b, +, and U (only with r) options. See http://docs.python.org/2/library/functions.html#open

redundant-unittest-assert

W1503 - Redundant use of %s with constant value %r

The first argument of assertTrue and assertFalse is a condition. If a constant is passed as parameter, that condition will be always true. In this case a warning should be emitted.

deprecated-method

The method is marked as deprecated and will be removed in a future version of Python. Consider looking for an alternative in the documentation.

bad-thread-instantiation

W1506 - threading.Thread needs the target function

The warning is emitted when a threading.Thread class is instantiated without the target function being passed. By default, the first parameter is the group param, not the target param.

shallow-copy-environ

W1507 - Using copy.copy(os.environ). Use os.environ.copy() instead.

os.environ is not a dict object but proxy object, so shallow copy has still effects on original object. See https://bugs.python.org/issue15373 for reference.

invalid-envvar-default

W1508 - %s default type is %s. Expected str or None.

Env manipulation functions return None or str values. Supplying anything different as a default may cause bugs. See https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#os.getenv.
