Lint also Django Python files

[michel-m]

It would be great to have pylint working in Python Django files too. (Syntax from packages such as atom-django by @zacharytamas.)

Don't know what advantages an integration with atom-django (or similar packages) would have.

But installing the pylint-django plugin for pylint improves the Django support of atom and linter-pylint significantly.

@exploide, I'm having a bit of trouble getting pylint-django to work with linter-pylint.

Under the executables setting, I added "pylint --load-plugins pylint_django" but it crashes pylint. I can run the command from cli with no issue. Any tips?

[exploide]

• Make sure pylint is installed for the version of Python you are using (2 vs 3)
• Make sure pylint-django is installed for the version of Python you are using (pip2 vs pip3 if you install it via pip)
• To load the plugin, I placed the following .pylintrc file in my home directory:

[MASTER]

# List of plugins (as comma separated values of python modules names) to load,
# usually to register additional checkers.
load-plugins=pylint_django

This avoids the command line switch mentioned in your comment. Maybe this causes the problem.

• Make sure the Executable variable of the linter-pylint package points to the correct version of pylint (pylint vs python3-pylint)

@yoongkang did explode's fix work for you?

Closing as this is an old issue and the pylint-django solution seems reasonable. If there are still Django integration issues, please open an issue.

[exploide]

Well, the use of pylint-django is okayish. In general it works but I always got import errors like F0401 Unable to import 'myapp.models'. Don't know if this is a linter-pylint or pylint or pylint-django issue.

I always got import errors

Have you tried with the latest version of linter-pylint? We fixed some import issues, so this may work for you now. pylint itself does indeed have issues with some C modules and modules that dynamically export members, though. If after upgrading you are still having issues, please open a new issue and we'll get it figured out!

I'm having the same issue as @yoongkang. Here's my .pylintrc:

# List of plugins (as comma separated values of python modules names) to load,
# usually to register additional checkers.
load-plugins=pylint_django

And Pylint/Python version:

pylint --version
pylint 1.7.1,
astroid 1.5.2
Python 3.6.1 (default, Apr  4 2017, 09:40:21)
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 8.1.0 (clang-802.0.38)]

Using linter-pylint version 2.1.0.

And also if I run the command from cli it works (having the plugin loaded on .pylintrc)

@dccarmo Do you mean you added options to the executable path setting? If that's the case, a crash is normal, because this is no longer the correct executable path.

But it should not be needed, since you already configure load-plugins correctly in your pylintrc. The problem is probably that pylint does not find your pylintrc. Try setting the pylintrc file name explicitly.

By the way, commenting on a years-old, closed bug, saying that you have the "same problem" is bad form. You are not describing your problem fully and it confuses the conversation.

[dccarmo]

@ddaanet Sorry if I wasn't clear enough.

I'm adding pylint_django to my .pylintrc load-plugins section. When I do that, linter-pylint crashes upon running. This is my issue.

Now if I try running pylint on the terminal, it runs without any issue, even loading the plugin from .pylintrc. So my guess is there's some issue on linter-pylint that's crashing when loading this plugin.

[ddaanet]

If linter-pylint crashes, it gives some output in the development console. Can you paste it here?

[ddaanet]

Or even better, in a new issue, because, you know, this one is closed...
