py-pylint: updated to 2.15.4

v2.15.4

False Positives Fixed

Fix the message for unnecessary-dunder-call for __aiter__ and
__aneext__. Also
only emit the warning when py-version >= 3.10.

Other Bug Fixes

Fix bug in detecting unused-variable when iterating on variable.

Fixed handling of -- as separator between positional arguments and flags.
This was not actually fixed in 2.14.5.

Report no-self-argument rather than no-method-argument for methods
with variadic arguments.

Fixed an issue where syntax-error couldn't be raised on files with
invalid encodings.

Fix false positive for redefined-outer-name when aliasing typing
e.g. as t and guarding imports under t.TYPE_CHECKING.

Fixed a crash of the modified_iterating checker when iterating on a set
defined as a class attribute.

Fix bug in scanning of names inside arguments to typing.Literal.
See https://peps.python.org/pep-0586/#literals-enums-and-forward-references
for details.

Other Changes

Add method name to the error messages of no-method-argument and
no-self-argument.

py-pylint: updated to 2.15.3

v2.15.3

Fixed a crash in the unhashable-member checker when using a lambda as a dict key.

Fix a crash in the modified-iterating-dict checker involving instance attributes.

invalid-class-object does not crash anymore when __class__ is assigned alongside \ 
another variable.

Fix false positive for global-variable-not-assigned when a global variable is \ 
re-assigned via an ImportFrom node.

Fix false positive for undefined-loop-variable in for-else loops that use a function
having a return type annotation of NoReturn or Never.

--help-msg now accepts a comma-separated list of message IDs again.

Log message:
py-pylint: updated to 2.15.2

What's new in Pylint 2.15.2?

Fixed a case where custom plugins specified by command line could silently fail.
Specifically, if a plugin relies on the init-hook option changing sys.path \ 
before it can be imported, this will now emit a bad-plugin-value message. Before \ 
this change, it would silently fail to register the plugin for use, but would \ 
load any configuration, which could have unintended effects.
Fix used-before-assignment for functions/classes defined in type checking guard.
Update modified_iterating checker to fix a crash with for loops on empty list.
The docparams extension now considers typing in Numpy style docstrings as \ 
"documentation" for the missing-param-doc message.
Fix false positive for unused-variable and unused-import when a name is only \ 
used in a string literal type annotation.
Fix false positive for too-many-function-args when a function call is assigned \ 
to a class attribute inside the class where the function is defined.
Fix used-before-assignment for functions/classes defined in type checking guard.
Fix ignored files being linted when passed on stdin.
missing-return-doc, missing-raises-doc and missing-yields-doc now respect the \ 
no-docstring-rgx option.
Don't crash on OSError in config file discovery.
disable-next is now correctly scoped to only the succeeding line.
Update modified_iterating checker to fix a crash with for loops on empty list.

Log message:
py-pylint: add missing build dependency

Fix some pkglint while here.

Log message:
py-pylint: updated to 2.15.0

In pylint 2.15.0, we added a new check missing-timeout to warn of default \ 
timeout values that could cause a program to be hanging indefinitely.

We improved pylint's handling of namespace packages. More packages should be \ 
linted without resorting to using the --recursive=y option.

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 pylint \ 
or astroid knowledge, so this is the perfect entrypoint if you want to \ 
contribute to pylint or open source without any experience with our code!

Internally, we changed the way we generate the release notes, thanks to \ 
DudeNr33. There will be no more conflict resolution to do in the changelog, and \ 
every contributor rejoice.

Log message:
py-pylint: updated to 2.14.5

v2.14.5

Fixed a crash in the undefined-loop-variable check when enumerate() is used
in a ternary expression.

Fixed handling of -- as separator between positional arguments and flags.

Fixed the disabling of fixme and its interaction with useless-suppression.

Allow lists of default values in parameter documentation for Numpy style.

Log message:
py-pylint: updated to 2.14.4

v2.14.4

The differing-param-doc check was triggered by positional only arguments.

Fixed an issue where scanning . directory recursively with \ 
--ignore-path=^path/to/dir is not
ignoring the path/to/dir directory.

Fixed regression that didn't allow quoted init-hooks in option files.

Fixed a false positive for modified-iterating-dict when updating an existing key.

Fixed an issue where many-core Windows machines (>~60 logical processors) \ 
would hang when
using the default jobs count.

Fixed an issue with the recognition of setup.cfg files.
Only .cfg files that are exactly named setup.cfg require section names that
start with pylint..

Don't report import-private-name for relative imports.

Log message:
py-pylint: updated to 2.14.2

What's New in Pylint 2.14.2?

Fixed a false positive for unused-variable when a function returns an \ 
argparse.Namespace object.

Avoided raising an identical undefined-loop-variable message twice on the same line.

Don't crash if lint.run._query_cpu() is run within a Kubernetes Pod, that has \ 
only a fraction of a cpu core assigned. Just go with one process then.

Fixed a false positive in consider-using-f-string if the left side of a % is not \ 
a string.

Fixed a false positive in unnecessary-list-index-lookup and \ 
unnecessary-dict-index-lookup when the subscript is updated in the body of a \ 
nested loop.

Fixed an issue with multi-line init-hook options which did not record the line \ 
endings.

Fixed a false positive for used-before-assignment when a try block returns but \ 
an except handler defines a name via type annotation.

--errors-only no longer enables previously disabled messages. It was acting as \ 
"emit all and only error messages" without being clearly documented \ 
that way.

What's New in Pylint 2.14.1?

Avoid reporting unnecessary-dict-index-lookup or unnecessary-list-index-lookup \ 
when the index lookup is part of a destructuring assignment.

Fixed parsing of unrelated options in tox.ini.

Fixed a crash when linting __new__() methods that return a call expression.

Don't crash if we can't find the user's home directory.

Fixed false positives for unused-import when aliasing typing e.g. as t and \ 
guarding imports under t.TYPE_CHECKING.

Fixed a false positive regression in 2.13 for used-before-assignment where it is \ 
safe to rely on a name defined only in an except block because the else block \ 
returned.

Fixed the use of abbreviations for some special options on the command line.

Fix a crash in the optional pylint.extensions.private_import extension.

bad-option-value (E0012) is now a warning unknown-option-value (W0012). Deleted \ 
messages that do not exist anymore in pylint now raise useless-option-value \ 
(R0022) instead of bad-option-value. This allows to distinguish between genuine \ 
typos and configuration that could be cleaned up. Existing message disables for \ 
bad-option-value will still work on both new messages.

What's New in Pylint 2.14.0?

The refactoring checker now also raises 'consider-using-generator' messages for \ 
max(), min() and sum().

We have improved our recognition of inline disable and enable comments. It is \ 
now possible to disable bad-option-value inline (as long as you disable it \ 
before the bad option value is raised, i.e. disable=bad-option-value,bad-message \ 
not disable=bad-message,bad-option-value ) as well as certain other previously \ 
unsupported messages.

Fixed a crash in the unused-private-member checker involving chained private \ 
attributes.

Added new checker comparison-of-constants.

pylint.pyreverse.ASTWalker has been removed, as it was only used internally by a \ 
single child class.

pyreverse: Resolving and displaying implemented interfaces that are defined by \ 
the __implements__ attribute has been deprecated and will be removed in 3.0.

Fix syntax for return type annotations in MermaidJS diagrams produced with pyreverse.

Fix type annotations of class and instance attributes using the alternative \ 
union syntax in pyreverse diagrams.

Fix unexpected-special-method-signature false positive for __init_subclass__ \ 
methods with one or more arguments.

Started ignoring underscore as a local variable for too-many-locals.

Improved wording of the message of deprecated-module

Pylint now requires Python 3.7.2 or newer to run.

BaseChecker classes now require the linter argument to be passed.

Fix a failure to respect inline disables for fixme occurring on the last line of \ 
a module when pylint is launched with --enable=fixme.

Update invalid-slots-object message to show bad object rather than its inferred \ 
value.

The main checker name is now main instead of master. The configuration does not \ 
need to be updated as sections' name are optional.

Don't report useless-super-delegation for the __hash__ method in classes that \ 
also override the __eq__ method.

Added new checker typevar-name-mismatch: TypeVar must be assigned to a variable \ 
with the same name as its name argument.

Pylint can now be installed with an extra-require called spelling (pip install \ 
pylint[spelling]). This will add pyenchant to pylint's dependencies. You will \ 
still need to install the requirements for pyenchant (the enchant library and \ 
any dictionaries) yourself. You will also need to set the spelling-dict option.

Removed the assign-to-new-keyword message as there are no new keywords in the \ 
supported Python versions any longer.

Fixed a crash in the not-an-iterable checker involving multiple starred \ 
expressions inside a call.

Fixed a crash in the docparams extension involving raising the result of a function.

Fixed failure to enable deprecated-module after a disable=all by making \ 
ImportsChecker solely responsible for emitting deprecated-module instead of \ 
sharing responsibility with StdlibChecker. (This could have led to double \ 
messages.)

The no-init (W0232) warning has been removed. It's ok to not have an __init__ in \ 
a class.

The config attribute of BaseChecker has been deprecated. You can use \ 
checker.linter.config to access the global configuration object instead of a \ 
checker-specific object.

The level attribute of BaseChecker has been deprecated: everything is now \ 
displayed in --help, all the time.

The options_providers attribute of ArgumentsManager has been deprecated.

The option_groups attribute of PyLinter has been deprecated.

All Interface classes in pylint.interfaces have been deprecated. You can \ 
subclass the respective normal classes to get the same behaviour. The \ 
__implements__ functionality was based on a rejected PEP from 2001: \ 
https://peps.python.org/pep-0245/

The set_option method of BaseChecker has been deprecated. You can use \ 
checker.linter.set_option to set an option on the global configuration object \ 
instead of a checker-specific object.

implicit-str-concat will now be raised on calls like open("myfile.txt" \ 
"a+b") too.

The config attribute of PyLinter is now of the argparse.Namespace type instead \ 
of optparse.Values.

MapReduceMixin has been deprecated. BaseChecker now implements get_map_data and \ 
reduce_map_data. If a checker actually needs to reduce data it should define \ 
get_map_data as returning something different than None and let its \ 
reduce_map_data handle a list of the types returned by get_map_data. An example \ 
can be seen by looking at pylint/checkers/similar.py.

UnsupportedAction has been deprecated.

OptionsManagerMixIn has been deprecated.

OptionParser has been deprecated.

Option has been deprecated.

OptionsProviderMixIn has been deprecated.

ConfigurationMixIn has been deprecated.

get_global_config has been deprecated. You can now access all global options \ 
from checker.linter.config.

OptionsManagerMixIn has been replaced with ArgumentsManager. ArgumentsManager is \ 
considered private API and most methods that were public on OptionsManagerMixIn \ 
have now been deprecated and will be removed in a future release.

OptionsProviderMixIn has been replaced with ArgumentsProvider. ArgumentsProvider \ 
is considered private API and most methods that were public on \ 
OptionsProviderMixIn have now been deprecated and will be removed in a future \ 
release.

interfaces.implements has been deprecated and will be removed in 3.0. Please use \ 
standard inheritance patterns instead of __implements__.

invalid-enum-extension: Used when a class tries to extend an inherited Enum class.

Added the unrecognized-option message. Raised if we encounter any unrecognized \ 
options.

Added new checker typevar-double-variance: The "covariant" and \ 
"contravariant" keyword arguments cannot both be set to \ 
"True" in a TypeVar.

Re-enable checker bad-docstring-quotes for Python <= 3.7.

Removed the broken generate-man option.

Fix false negative for bad-string-format-type if the value to be formatted is \ 
passed in as a variable holding a constant.

Add new check unnecessary-dunder-call for unnecessary dunder method calls.

The cache-max-size-none checker has been renamed to method-cache-max-size-none.

The method-cache-max-size-none checker will now also check functools.cache.

unnecessary-lambda-assignment: Lambda expression assigned to a variable. Define \ 
a function using the "def" keyword instead. \ 
unnecessary-direct-lambda-call: Lambda expression called directly. Execute the \ 
expression inline instead.

potential-index-error: Emitted when the index of a list or tuple exceeds its \ 
length. This checker is currently quite conservative to avoid false positives. \ 
We welcome suggestions for improvements.

Added optional extension redefined-loop-name to emit messages when a loop \ 
variable is redefined in the loop body.

Changed message type from redefined-outer-name to redefined-loop-name (optional \ 
extension) for redefinitions of outer loop variables by inner loops.

The ignore-mixin-members option has been deprecated. You should now use the new \ 
ignored-checks-for-mixins option.

bad-option-value will be emitted whenever a configuration value or command line \ 
invocation includes an unknown message.

Avoid reporting superfluous-parens on expressions using the is not operator.

Added the super-without-brackets checker, raised when a super call is missing \ 
its brackets.

Added the generate-toml-config option.

Added new checker unnecessary-list-index-lookup for indexing into a list while \ 
iterating over enumerate().

Fix falsely issuing useless-suppression on the wrong-import-position checker.

Fixed false positive no-member for Enums with self-defined members.

Fix false negative for no-member when attempting to assign an instance attribute \ 
to itself without any prior assignment.

The concept of checker priority has been removed.

Add a new command line option --minimal-messages-config for pytest, which \ 
disables all irrelevant messages when running the functional tests.

duplicate-argument-name now only raises once for each set of duplicated arguments.

Fix bug where specifically enabling just await-outside-async was not possible.

The set_config_directly decorator has been removed.

Added new message called duplicate-value which identifies duplicate values \ 
inside sets.

Pylint now expands the user path (i.e. ~ to home/yusef/) and expands environment \ 
variables (i.e. home/$USER/$project to home/yusef/pylint for USER=yusef and \ 
project=pylint) for pyreverse's output-directory, import-graph, \ 
ext-import-graph, int-import-graph options, and the spell checker's \ 
spelling-private-dict-file option.

Created NoSelfUseChecker extension and moved the no-self-use check. You now need \ 
to explicitly enable this check using \ 
load-plugins=pylint.extensions.no_self_use.

Fix saving of persistent data files in environments where the user's cache \ 
directory and the linted file are on a different drive.

Don't emit unsubscriptable-object for string annotations. Pylint doesn't check \ 
if class is only generic in type stubs only.

Fix pyreverse crash RuntimeError: dictionary changed size during iteration

Fix bug where it writes a plain text error message to stdout, invalidating \ 
output formats.

is_class_subscriptable_pep585_with_postponed_evaluation_enabled has been \ 
deprecated. Use is_postponed_evaluation_enabled(node) and \ 
is_node_in_type_annotation_context(node) instead.

Update ranges for using-constant-test and missing-parentheses-for-call-in-test \ 
error messages.

Don't emit no-member inside type annotations with from __future__ import annotations.
