py-pylint: updated to 2.8.1

What's New in Pylint 2.8.1?
===========================
Release date: 2021-04-25

..
  Put new features and bugfixes here and also in 'doc/whatsnew/2.9.rst'

* Add numversion back (temporarily) in ``__pkginfo__`` because it broke Pylama \ 
and revert the unnecessary
  ``pylint.version`` breaking change.

What's New in Pylint 2.8.0?
===========================
Release date: 2021-04-24

* New refactoring message ``consider-using-with``. This message is emitted if \ 
resource-allocating functions or methods of the
  standard library (like ``open()`` or ``threading.Lock.acquire()``) that can be \ 
used as a context manager are called without
  a ``with`` block.

* Resolve false positives on unused variables in decorator functions

* Add new extension ``ConfusingConsecutiveElifChecker``. This optional checker \ 
emits a refactoring message (R5601 ``confusing-consecutive-elif``)
  if if/elif statements with different indentation levels follow directly one \ 
after the other.

* New option ``--output=<file>`` to output result to a file rather than \ 
printing to stdout.

* Use a prescriptive message for ``unidiomatic-typecheck``

* Apply ``const-naming-style`` to module constants annotated with
  ``typing.Final``

* The packaging is now done via setuptools exclusively. ``doc``, ``tests``, \ 
``man``, ``elisp`` and ``Changelog`` are
  not packaged anymore - reducing the size of the package by 75%.

* Debian packaging is now  (officially) done in \ 
https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/pylint.

* The 'doc' extra-require has been removed.

* ``__pkginfo__`` now only contain ``__version__`` (also accessible with \ 
``pylint.__version__``), other meta-information are still
  accessible with ``from importlib import metadata;metadata.metadata('pylint')``.

* COPYING has been renamed to LICENSE for standardization.

* Fix false-positive ``used-before-assignment`` in function returns.

* Updated ``astroid`` to 2.5.3

* Add ``consider-using-min-max-builtin`` check for if statement which could be \ 
replaced by Python builtin min or max

* Don't auto-enable postponed evaluation of type annotations with Python 3.10

* Update ``astroid`` to 2.5.4

* Add new extension ``TypingChecker``. This optional checker can detect the use \ 
of deprecated typing aliases
  and can suggest the use of the alternative union syntax where possible.
  (For example, 'typing.Dict' can be replaced by 'dict', and 'typing.Unions' by \ 
'|', etc.)
  Make sure to check the config options if you plan on using it!

* Reactivates old counts in report mode.

* During detection of ``inconsistent-return-statements`` consider that ``assert \ 
False`` is a return node.

* Run will not fail if score exactly equals ``config.fail_under``.

* Functions that never returns may declare ``NoReturn`` as type hints, so that
  ``inconsistent-return-statements`` is not emitted.

* Improved protected access checks to allow access inside class methods

* Fix issue with PEP 585 syntax and the use of ``collections.abc.Set``

* Fix issue that caused class variables annotated with ``typing.ClassVar`` to be
  identified as class constants. Now, class variables annotated with
  ``typing.Final`` are identified as such.

* Continuous integration with read the doc has been added.

* Don't show ``DuplicateBasesError`` for attribute access

* Fix crash when checking ``setup.cfg`` for pylint config when there are \ 
non-ascii characters in there

* Allow code flanked in backticks to be skipped by spellchecker

* Allow Python tool directives (for black, flake8, zimports, isort, mypy, \ 
bandit, pycharm) at beginning of comments to be skipped by spellchecker

* Fix issue that caused emacs pylint to fail when used with tramp

* Improve check for invalid PEP 585 syntax inside functions
  if postponed evaluation of type annotations is enabled

* Improve check for invalid PEP 585 syntax as default function arguments

py-pylint: updated to 2.7.3

What's New in Pylint 2.7.3?
* Introduce logic for checking deprecated attributes in DeprecationMixin.
* Reduce usage of blacklist/whitelist terminology. Notably, \ 
``extension-pkg-allow-list`` is an

``C0111`` (``missing-docstring``).

to activate/deactivate
  ``protected-access`` message emission for single underscore prefixed attribute \ 
in special methods.
* Fix vulnerable regular expressions in ``pyreverse``
* ``inconsistent-return-statements`` message is now emitted if one of \ 
``try/except`` statement
  is not returning explicitly while the other do.
* Fix ``useless-super-delegation`` false positive when default keyword argument \ 
is a dictionnary.

non-alphanumeric characters (e.g. parentheses, bracket, comman, etc.)

* Fix a crash in `consider-using-enumerate` when encountering `range()` without \ 
arguments
* `len-as-conditions` is now triggered only for classes that are inheriting \ 
directly from list, dict, or set and not implementing the `__bool__` function, \ 
or from generators like range or list/dict/set comprehension. This should reduce \ 
the false positives for other classes, like pandas's DataFrame or numpy's Array.
* Fixes duplicate-errors not working with -j2+
* `generated-members` now matches the qualified name of members
* Add check for bool function to `len-as-condition`

* New check: ``consider-using-generator``
  This check warns when a comprehension is used inside an `any` or `all` function,
  since it is unnecessary and should be replaced by a generator instead.
  Using a generator would be less code and way faster.
* Add Github Actions to replace Travis and AppVeyor in the future

Log message:
py-pylint: updated to 2.6.0

What's New in Pylint 2.6.0?
===========================

* Fix various scope-related bugs in ``undefined-variable`` checker

* bad-continuation and bad-whitespace have been removed, black or another \ 
formatter can help you with this better than Pylint

* The no-space-check option has been removed. It's no longer possible to \ 
consider empty line like a `trailing-whitespace` by using clever options

* ``missing-kwoa`` is no longer emitted when dealing with overload functions

* mixed-indentation has been removed, it is no longer useful since TabError is \ 
included directly in python3

* Add `super-with-arguments` check for flagging instances of Python 2 style \ 
super calls.

* Add an faq detailing which messages to disable to avoid duplicates w/ other \ 
popular linters

* Fix superfluous-parens false-positive for the walrus operator

* Fix `fail-under` not accepting floats

* Fix a bug with `ignore-docstrings` ignoring all lines in a module

* Fix `pre-commit` config that could lead to undetected duplicate lines of code

* Fix a crash in parallel mode when the module's filepath is not set

* Add `raise-missing-from` check for exceptions that should have a cause.

* Support both isort 4 and isort 5. If you have pinned isort 4 in your projet \ 
requirements, nothing changes. If you use isort 5, though, note that the \ 
`known-standard-library` option is not interpreted the same in isort 4 and isort \ 
5 (see the migration guide in isort documentation for further details). For \ 
compatibility's sake for most pylint users, the `known-standard-library` option \ 
in pylint now maps to `extra-standard-library` in isort 5. If you really want \ 
what `known-standard-library` now means in isort 5, you must disable the \ 
`wrong-import-order` check in pylint and run isort manually with a proper isort \ 
configuration file.

Log message:
py-pylint: updated to 2.5.3

What's New in Pylint 2.5.3?
* Fix a regression where disable comments that have checker names with numbers \ 
in them are not parsed correctly
* `property-with-parameters` properly handles abstract properties
* `continue-in-finally` no longer emitted on Python 3.8 where it's now valid
* Fix a regression where messages with dash are not fully parsed
* Fix a regression where the score was not reported with multiple jobs
* In a TOML configuration file, it's now possible to use rich (non-string) \ 
types, such as list, integer or boolean instead of strings. For example, one can \ 
now define a *list* of message identifiers to enable like this::

    enable = [
        "use-symbolic-message-instead",
        "useless-suppression",
    ]
* Protect against `AttributeError` when checking `cell-var-from-loop`
