Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

register_checkers

✓ from edx_lint import register_checkers

✗ from edx_lint import register_checkers

Basic usage to register edx-lint checkers and run pylint. Ensure a .pylintrc is present (generated via `edx_lint generate`).

import pylint.lint from edx_lint.main import register_checkers # Initialize and register custom checkers register_checkers() # Run pylint with edx-lint checkers pylint.lint.Run(['--rcfile=.pylintrc', 'my_module.py'])

pylint --version

Known issues

breakingPython 2 support dropped in v5.0.0. Upgrade your codebase to Python 3.

fix

Ensure Python 3.6+ and update any Python 2-only syntax.

affects: >=5.0.0

breakingPyLinter class removed in v5.0.0. Direct imports from edx_lint.PyLinter will fail.

fix

Use pylint.lint.PyLinter if needed, or rely on register_checkers() to extend pylint.

affects: >=5.0.0

gotchaThe 'edx_lint generate' command may override hand-crafted pylintrc files. Always keep a backup.

fix

Run 'edx_lint generate' only on a fresh or version-controlled pylintrc.

affects: all

gotchaedx-lint installs many dependencies (pylint, six, etc.) that may conflict with your project's pinned versions.

fix

Use a virtual environment or pip-compile to manage dependencies.
