==2.4.3->==3.0.3Release Notes
pylint-dev/pylint (pylint)
v3.0.3Compare Source
What's new in Pylint 3.0.3?
Release date: 2023-12-11
False Positives Fixed
Fixed false positive for
unnecessary-lambdawhen the call has keyword arguments but not the lambda.Closes #9148
Fixed incorrect suggestion for shallow copy in unnecessary-comprehension
Example of the suggestion:
#pylint: disable=missing-module-docstring
a = [1, 2, 3]
b = [x for x in a]
b[0] = 0
print(a) # [1, 2, 3]
After changing b = [x for x in a] to b = a based on the suggestion, the script now prints [0, 2, 3]. The correct suggestion should be use list(a) to preserve the original behavior.

v3.0.0Pylint now support python 3.12 officially.
This long anticipated major version also provides some important usability and performance improvements, along with enacting necessary breaking changes and long-announced deprecations. The documentation of each message with an example is very close too.
The required astroid version is now 3.0.0. See the astroid changelog for additional fixes, features, and performance improvements applicable to pylint.
Our code is now fully typed. The invalid-name message no longer checks for a minimum length of 3 characters by default. Dependencies like wrapt or setuptools were removed.
A new json2 reporter has been added. It features an enriched output that is easier to parse and provides more info, here's a sample output.
{ "messages": [ { "type": "convention", "symbol": "line-too-long", "message": "Line too long (1/2)", "messageId": "C0301", "confidence": "HIGH", "module": "0123", "obj": "", "line": 1, "column": 0, "endLine": 1, "endColumn": 4, "path": "0123", "absolutePath": "0123" } ], "statistics": { "messageTypeCount": { "fatal": 0, "error": 0, "warning": 0, "refactor": 0, "convention": 1, "info": 0 }, "modulesLinted": 1, "score": 5.0 } }Breaking Changes
Enabling or disabling individual messages will now take effect even if an
--enable=allordisable=allfollows in the same configuration file(or on the command line).
This means for the following example,
fixmemessages will now be emitted:To regain the prior behavior, remove the superfluous earlier option.
Closes #3696
Remove support for launching pylint with Python 3.7.
Code that supports Python 3.7 can still be linted with the
--py-version=3.7setting.Refs #6306
Disables placed in a
tryblock now apply to theexceptblock.Previously, they only happened to do so in the presence of an
elseclause.Refs #7767
pyreversenow uses a new default color palette that is more colorblind friendly.The color scheme is taken from
Paul Tol's Notes <https://personal.sron.nl/~pault/>_.If you prefer other colors, you can use the
--color-paletteoption to specify custom colors.Closes #8251
Everything related to the
__implements__construct was removed. It was based on PEP245that was proposed in 2001 and rejected in 2006.
The capability from pyreverse to take
__implements__into account when generating diagramswas also removed.
Refs #8404
pyreverse: Support for the.vcgoutput format (Visualization of Compiler Graphs) has been dropped.Closes #8416
The warning when the now useless old pylint cache directory (pylint.d) was
found was removed. The cache dir is documented in
the FAQ <https://pylint.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html#where-is-the-persistent-data-stored-to-compare-between-successive-runs>_.Refs #8462
Following a deprecation period,
pylint.config.PYLINTRCwas removed.Use the
pylint.config.find_default_config_filesgenerator instead.Closes #8862
Changes requiring user actions
The
invalid-namemessage no longer checks for a minimum length of 3 characters by default.(This was an unadvertised commingling of concerns between casing
and name length, and users regularly reported this to be surprising.)
If checking for a minimum length is still desired, it can be regained in two ways:
If you are content with a
disallowed-namemessage (instead ofinvalid-name), then simply add the optionbad-names-rgxs="^..?$",which will fail 1-2 character-long names. (Ensure you enable
disallowed-name.)If you would prefer an
invalid-namemessage to be emitted, or wouldprefer finer-grained control over the circumstances in which messages are
emitted (classes vs. methods, etc.), then avail yourself of the regex
options described
here <https://pylint.readthedocs.io/en/stable/user_guide/configuration/all-options.html#main-checker>.(In particular, take note of the commented out options in the "example
configuration" given at the bottom of the section.) The prior regexes can
be found in the
pull request <https://github.com/pylint-dev/pylint/pull/8813>that removed the length requirements.
Closes #2018
The compare to empty string checker (
pylint.extensions.emptystring) and the compare tozero checker (
pylint.extensions.compare-to-zero) have been removed and their checks arenow part of the implicit booleaness checker:
compare-to-zerowas renameduse-implicit-booleaness-not-comparison-to-zeroandcompare-to-empty-stringwas renameduse-implicit-booleaness-not-comparison-to-stringand they now need to be enabled explicitly.
The
pylint.extensions.emptystringandpylint.extensions.compare-to-zeroextensionsno longer exist and need to be removed from the
load-pluginsoption.Messages related to implicit booleaness were made more explicit and actionable.
This permits to make their likeness explicit and will provide better performance as they
share most of their conditions to be raised.
Closes #6871
epylint was removed. It now lives at: https://github.com/emacsorphanage/pylint.
Refs #7737
The
overgeneral-exceptionsoption now only takes fully qualified namesinto account (
builtins.ExceptionnotException). If you overrodethis option, you need to use the fully qualified name now.
There's still a warning, but it will be removed in 3.1.0.
Refs #8411
Following a deprecation period, it's no longer possible to use
MASTERor
masteras configuration section insetup.cfgortox.ini. It's bad practiceto not start a section title with the tool name. Please use
pylint.maininstead.Refs #8465
Package stats are now printed when running Pyreverse and a
--verboseflag was added to get the original output with parsed modules. You might need to activate the verbose option if you want to keep the old output.Closes #8973
New Features
A new
json2reporter has been added. It features a more enriched output that iseasier to parse and provides more info.
Compared to
jsonthe only changes are that messages are now under the"messages"key and that
"message-id"now follows the camelCase convention and is renamed to"messageId".The new reporter also reports the "score" of the modules you linted as defined by the
evaluationoption and provides statistics about the modules you linted.We encourage users to use the new reporter as the
jsonreporter will no longerbe maintained.
Closes #4741
In Pyreverse package dependency diagrams, show when a module imports another only for type-checking.
Closes #8112
Add new option (
--show-stdlib,-L) topyreverse.This is similar to the behavior of
--show-builtinin that standard librarymodules are now not included by default, and this option will include them.
Closes #8181
Add Pyreverse option to exclude standalone nodes from diagrams with
--no-standalone.Closes #8476
New Checks
Added
DataclassCheckermodule andinvalid-field-callchecker to check for invalid dataclasses.field() usage.Refs #5159
Add
return-in-finallyto emit a message if a return statement was found in a finally clause.Closes #8260
Add a new checker
kwarg-superseded-by-positional-argto warn when a function is called with a keyword argument which shares a name with a positional-only parameter and the function contains a keyword variadic parameter dictionary. It may be surprising behaviour when the keyword argument is added to the keyword variadic parameter dictionary.Closes #8558
Extensions
Add new
prefer-typing-namedtuplemessage to theCodeStyleCheckerto suggestrewriting calls to
collections.namedtupleas classes inheriting fromtyping.NamedTupleon Python 3.6+.

When checking for unbalanced dict unpacking in for-loops, Pylint will now test whether the length of each value to be
unpacked matches the number of unpacking targets. Previously, Pylint would test the number of values for the loop
iteration, which would produce a false unbalanced-dict-unpacking warning.

2.17 is a small release that is the first to support python 3.11 officially
with the addition of TryStar nodes.
There's still two new default checks:
bad-chained-comparisonandimplicit-flag-alias, one of them already fixed a previously undetectedbug in sentry.
Thanks to the community effort our documentation is almost complete,
and almost all messages should have a proper documentation now.
A big thank you to everyone who participated !
The next release is going to be
3.0.0, bring breaking changes andenact long announced deprecations. There's going to be frequent beta
releases, before the official releases, everyone is welcome to try the betas
so we find problems before the actual release.

Summary -- Release highlights
In 2.16.0 we added aggregation and composition understanding in
pyreverse, and a way to clearthe cache in between run in server mode (originally for the VS Code integration). Apart from the bug
fixes there's also a lot of new checks, and new extensions that have been asked for for a long time
that were implemented.
If you want to benefit from all the new checks load the following plugins::
We still welcome any community effort to help review, integrate, and add good/bad examples to the doc for
#5953. This should be doable without any
pylintorastroidknowledge, so this is the perfect entrypoint if you want to contribute to
pylintor open source withoutany experience with our code!
Last but not least @clavedeluna and @nickdrozd became triagers, welcome to the team !
What's new in Pylint 2.16.0?
Changes requiring user actions
The
accept-no-raise-docoption related tomissing-raises-docwill nowbe correctly taken into account all the time.
Pylint will no longer raise missing-raises-doc (W9006) when no exceptions are
documented and accept-no-raise-doc is true (issue #7208).
If you were expecting missing-raises-doc errors to be raised in that case,
you
will now have to add
accept-no-raise-doc=noin your configuration to keepthe same behavior.

no-headeroutput format. If enabled with--output-format=no-header, it will not include the module name in theoutput.
