Worth to have .pylintrc file?

[pmoravec]

As various people use various pylint setup, is it worth having .pylintrc config that is aligned with our "Flake8 linting test" one?

I did try to align it as close as possible.

I tried to run flake8 manually on the code with latest version in unstable Debian, and I couldn't see that lint issue that was presented.

But, the pylintrc is what has been done so far, and there is probably still room for improvement. The pylint has many more checks and requirements compared to flake8, and hence why it took so many PRs, specifically from Pon, to get to this point

If anyone wants to take these off the list of improvements, then that's extra tasks that people can accomplish.

Was there a specific test you was looking to align?

If people want to run pylint and flake8 before uploading, then they can use the following 2 commands, this would be in-line with what we have and what we run on CI

tox -e flake8
tox -e pylint
